Criteria For Maintaining OFCCP Compliance Checklist

By Barbara Wood


There are various rules and regulations formulated by the state to ensure equal job opportunities in federal organizations. This is essential because most of the government contractors would violate this requirement. Thus the state developed an OFCCP compliance checklist to ensure everything is in place. There are various ways that a contractor can use in order to ensure they comply with them. Here are the essentials things one can do in order to maintain the requirements.

Favoritism is one of the things that the law is against when allocating federal jobs. Hence the contractor must always make sure they set policies that will not appear to favor a particular group. If they are setting the required qualifications for a certain job, then it should not affect a great proportion of people who are protected. They should also ensure it does not discriminate against people based on their differences. Hence to maintain the set restrictions they should avoid bias.

One way to comply with the requirements by the state is by making sure all the relevant records are well prepared and kept. Proper arranging will make it easy for one to identify them and access easily. There are various data that will be required for verification. Hence a manager should consider storing the applications, resumes, test results, written employment procedure and policies among others. Hence select a suitable record keeping mechanisms.

One of the stated requirement is that every job vacancy announcement follows the right channels. This implies that every detail of the post has to be accurate and in the right order. It should also go through the right offices until they get to the final consumer that is a job seeker. Failure to which the contractor will be going against the contract and the policies they signed up for. Therefore, every external job posting should follow up the right state policies and mediums.

Before carrying out job advertisements, the contractor has to ensure they include the proper tag-line. This will include every detail on the company and its operation. Do not forget to include the name of your firm. For instance, one may include the name of an organization and the aim such as providing equal employment opportunity. This implies that the job seekers should not experience any inequality. Thus the vacancy is open to all people despite their sex, age, color or disability.

One does not necessarily have to keep the information stored for several years and attract rodents. At the same time, one should not ignore their need and end up destroying them before their need expires. Thus, a contractor should have knowledge of the duration of record storage.

There are certain cases when the contractor has been accused, or a complaint filed against them and a self-evaluation carried out. In such a situation they are required to keep the records of such an investigation. This will allow the board to access them.

Make sure that the equal employment opportunity posters are placed within the strategic locations within the buildings. For instance, they should be posted in the locker rooms, in the tea break areas among other locations. This will be a reminder of what the company objective is.
