EEOC & OFCCP Compliance Consulting

Overview

Redstone GCI experts routinely support contractors with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) requirements. Employers doing business with the Federal government have specific rules and regulations that must be followed to ensure equal employment opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action. The OFCCP mandates these rules and regulations for contractors. In addition, EEO compliance, non-discrimination and anti-harassment policies and practices are required of almost all employers. Our HR experts offer guidance and support to contractors related to OFCCP and best practices for compliance. We work with your team to provide a customized approach, offering a complete lifecycle solution to compliance with the requirements of Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and VEVRAA (Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974). We assist with developing and implementing the processes crucial to meeting the organization’s recruiting, hiring, and retention needs while remaining compliant with the sometimes overwhelming requirements of the OFCCP. In addition, we manage the creation of Affirmative Action Plans (AAP) and assist with implementing appropriate programs. Our experts provide training and full audit support.
