The Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued a final rule this week revising the agency’s implementing regulations in an effort to codify, for the first time, a formal (and hopefully consistent) set of rules the agency must follow when alleging unlawful discrimination discovered during a compliance evaluation. The new rule largely tracks the proposal published by OFCCP in December 2019 for establishing a framework regarding how discrimination allegations are identified, documented, and communicated to federal contractors, through the use of predetermination notices (PDNs) and notices of violation (NOVs).
