Preparing for the Revised Veterans and Disability Regulations

This article originally appeared in the February 2014 edition of the LocalJobNetwork "OFCCP Digest."

Federal contractors and subcontractors continue to prepare to implement the revised regulations regarding protected veterans and individuals with disabilities that were issued by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). There are certain provisions in these revised regulations that must be implemented by March 24, 2014. I discussed these provisions my January 2014 article for the OFCCP Digest.

On Friday, February 14, OFCCP provided new information regarding some of the March 24 requirements via a series of answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs). These new FAQs have important ramifications regarding certain actions that federal contractors and subcontractors should take.
