Federal Contracts: OFCCP Proposes To End Some On-Site Compliance Visits

The Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is proposing to end a requirement for visits to the worksites of federal contractors to make limited “compliance checks.” This type of review issued to see if the contractor has maintained proper records and has developed an affirmative action plan. To allow greater flexibility, contractors could satisfy compliance-check requirements by supplying the applicable records and supporting information to an OFCCP office or other designated site. The proposal will have to go through a notice-and-comment hearing procedure before being finalized. We’ll keep you posted.
