The Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC) has filed written comments with the Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) in response to the agency’s proposed changes to its compliance audit scheduling letter and its accompanying itemized listing. CWC’s comments question OFCCP’s assertion that the proposed changes will increase efficiency, arguing that they instead will needlessly increase the administrative burden on federal contractors as well as the agency without improving the compliance evaluation process. CWC asserts that both contractors and OFCCP are much better served by the current two-step evaluative process, in which contractors initially furnish aggregate information and the agency evaluates it, requesting additional information only on an as-needed basis as the audit proceeds.
