Double Checking Compliance
It's crucial for organizations to re-examine their compliance status, particularly in building effective Affirmative Action Programs. As of March 2023, the OFCCP has been requesting companies submit their Affirmative Action Programs to their OFCCP Contractors Portal. We're here to remind you to stay vigilant and proactive in aligning with these regulations, not just for legal adherence but for fostering an inclusive workplace.
A Cautionary Tale
Learning from Others : We highlight a few cases from October 2023 where non-compliance led to substantial fines:
Pfizer Inc: Settled $2M for alleged compensation discrimination.
Pitney Bowes: Faced nearly $1.6M in fines for race-based hiring discrimination.
US Foods: Resolved gender-based hiring discrimination with $721K.
Olin Corp: Paid $630K due to hiring discrimination.
Boeing Distribution Services Inc.: Agreed to $402K in back wages for similar issues.
These cases serve as stark reminders of the risks associated with non-compliance.
