OFCCP Posts New Sample Affirmative Action Programs Web Page
Wednesday, May 27, 2015

The Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ("OFCCP") has posted a new Sample Affirmative Action Programs Web page that contractors subject to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) may find useful.  The new page contains sample transition year Section 503 and VEVRAA AAPs that show how a contractor might satisfy the regulatory AAP requirements in its initial year.  The sample AAPs are for illustrative and technical assistance purposes only and do not represent the only appropriate or acceptable AAP format.  Nor are the sample AAPs legal advice.  Employers should consult with an experienced labor and employment attorney to determine whether they are covered by any OFCCP requirement to have a written affirmative action plan and before undertaking to create a plan. 

OFCCP has indicated that it will soon also post sample four-year Section 503 and VEVRAA AAPs that show how a contractor might develop Section 503 and VEVRAA AAPs containing three years of applicant and hiring data. A sample Executive Order 11246 AAP is also on the new Web page.

The Sample Affirmative Action Programs Web page can be found on the OFCCP web page here.
