Short Statement:
OFCCP is proposing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise 41 CFR part 60-300 and 41 CFR 60-250 which would address several significant issues: Strengthen the affirmative action provisions for Federal contractors, detailing specific mandatory actions a contractor must take to satisfy its affirmative action obligations with regard to recruitment, the dissemination of its affirmative action policies, employee training, and recordkeeping requirements. Clarify the contractor's mandatory job listing requirements and the relationship between the contractor, its agents, and the state employment services that provide priority referral of protected veterans. Increased use of technology in the workplace by providing for the electronic posting of employee rights and contractor obligations under Section 4212 and updating the manner in which compliance evaluations are conducted. Increase data collection pertaining to protected veteran referrals, applicants, and hires, and would require the contractor to establish hiring benchmarks to assist in measuring the effectiveness of its affirmative action efforts. These revisions are proposed to achieve a goal of increased employment opportunities for protected veterans by Federal contractors.
