HR Works offers services to help meet the requirements of the Directive.

Over one-third of OFCCP’s discrimination investigations now focus on pay discrimination.

Each year the OFCCP conducts compliance reviews of Affirmative Action Plans, or audits, as part of their efforts to enforce affirmative action regulations. An affirmative action employer has 30 days to submit the requested materials to the OFCCP upon notice of a compliance review.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Hear what our clients have to say about working with us.

“HR Works is so incredibly knowledgeable about the newest trends and about how they are being legislated. Their customer service, follow up and follow through are amazing. They are really more partners than service providers.

“Their advice has helped us tremendously in two ways: to achieve our goals of obtaining a diverse workforce and to fulfill our compliance requirements.”

HR MANAGER, FOOD MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

“We have been very pleased with the service and support received from the staff at HR Works. They have consistently demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of the affirmative action planning process from the plan development stage through the OFCCP compliance review process. Their attention to detail is remarkable and their analysis of data is very thorough.

“HR Works’ employees always show a high degree of professionalism and great patience when collecting and synthesizing the data from our various complex systems. I look forward to continuing our working relationship with HR Works.”

COMPLIANCE AND METRICS MANAGER, MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

“When I first called HR Works, I was under deadline for filing my AAP, had received an audit notice, and was too busy to assemble the material on my own. HR Works shared my sense of urgency, educated me throughout the process, and made it their priority to ensure a successful audit. Had I not found HR Works, I might still be struggling to learn from a book on how to write an AAP. Instead, I can relax, knowing it’s getting done correctly.”

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER, LABORATORY SERVICES INDUSTRY

“They assist on all aspects—from advice on setting up systems, to gathering the information, to consulting with our HR team on the plan’s creation. HR Works also provides consultation on implementing proactive AA practices throughout the organization and keeps us apprised of the latest developments in related laws and regulations. We continually receive high levels of service, not just during plan development, but throughout the year. When we need AA advice and expertise, HR Works is only a phone call away.”

HR OPERATIONS & PROJECT MANAGER, FINANCIAL INDUSTRY

“HR Works has proven to be an invaluable resource over the past five years. Just recently we received an audit letter from the OFCCP that somehow was overlooked, and we needed to move quickly. I called HR Works, and within hours we had everything we needed…

“HR Works’ employees are always willing to go above and beyond to provide top notch client service. They are so knowledgeable in affirmative action planning, and their approach is refreshing. We look forward to our continued relationship with HR Works.”

HR DIRECTOR, TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY
