Federal contractors and subcontractors across the United States are preparing to implement revised regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) in regard to protected veterans and individuals with disabilities. These revised regulations were issued on September 24, 2013. Some of the requirements in these revised regulations must be implemented by March 24, 2014, while other requirements must be implemented when companies next update their affirmative action plans for veterans and individuals with disabilities.
In this article, we’re going to focus on the provisions in the revised regulations that must be implemented by March 24. While these provisions may not be the most onerous in the revised regulations, they do not have the kind of flexibility in regard to implementation date that is associated with other portions of the revised regulations.
