In the last three weeks alone, OFCCP has issued two significant Directives and a notice of proposed rulemaking, signaling its intent to be far more aggressive and less transparent in.
OFCCP’s second Directive under leadership of Director Jenny Yang addresses audit practices and rescinding four Directives issued by former OFCCP Director, Craig Leen. Directive comes on heels of new Directive 2022-01-Pay Equity Audits and notice of Agency’s intention to rescind regulation.
The Directive makes clear that such a pay equity audit "is an important component of the contractor's affirmative action program" that OFCCP expects contractors to conduct "proactively."
On March 15, 2022, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued a new Directive clarifying covered contractors’ obligation to conduct pay equity audits on an annual.
