New Scheduling Letter -- Are you ready for all the new data requests?
OFCCP released a revised scheduling letter and itemized listing for compliance evaluations scheduled on or after October 15, 2014. The new itemized listing makes substantial changes to content and format for reporting compensation data and expands employment activity data reporting, including that for veterans and individuals with disabilities. OFCCP’s new Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing increase the risk and difficulty of audits for contractors. While experienced contractors and subcontractors may find the increased documentation and reporting obligations easily manageable, some contractors and subcontractors will find these obligations—like those imposed by recent OFCCP directives, rules, and presidential executive orders—confusing and burdensome.
Get a jump on how to deal with these new requests on January 13, 2015 with two experienced OFCCP attorneys from Ogletree Deakins. The discussion will review the new requests for information, what your company can do to prepare, and how to successfully defend an OFCCP audit under the new requirements.
