Longstanding regulations issued by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) and Section 4212 of the Vietnam-Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) require covered federal contractors to make their written 503/VEVRAA affirmative action programs (AAPs) available to employees and applicants upon request, and further require that the “location and hours during which the program may be obtained shall be posted at each establishment.”
While this obligation under OFCCP’s 503/VEVRAA regulations typically has been satisfied by making a printed version of the AAP available at a physical location or facility, the rapid emergence of remote work over the past several years has prompted questions from our members as to how this requirement applies in the remote environment.
