Affirmative Action employers are required to certify with the OFCCP by June 29, 2023 that they have written their required annual AAP(s).
Those who don’t certify or who have not taken the appropriate steps to maintain compliance may have an increased probability of being audited.

Partner with HR Works for 100% Compliant Affirmative Action Plans, 100% of the Time.
In 2022, compliance evaluations completed by the OFCCP resulted in over $142 million in penalties from employment discrimination violations, and secured over 1,000 conciliation agreements with federal contractors.
Each year as part of their efforts to enforce affirmative action regulations, the OFCCP conducts compliance reviews (or audits) of Affirmative Action Plans. An affirmative action employer has 30 days to submit the requested materials to the OFCCP upon notice of a compliance review. Violations may result in significant penalties and require employers to make changes to hiring and promotion practices, offer training for employees, and issue payments to affected employees
Multi-state employers need to ensure compliance with all state-specific affirmative action requirements

With each state having unique requirements and criteria impacting different types of employers, it can be especially challenging for multi-state employers to achieve compliance. HR Works has developed a resource to help you navigate these complexities.
