The following is a questionnaire surrounding each of the six initiatives to which the OFCCP is currently giving further consideration. Based on your feedback, DirectEmployers will then provide OFCCP Director Harris and Senior Advisor Craig Leen with constructive suggestions about the new initiatives the agency intends to roll out later this year.

Question Title

* 1. Transparency: OFCCP is “looking for a path to move forward.” What suggestions do you have for OFCCP to increase transparency?

Question Title

* 2. OFCCP is “looking at the pay groups issue,” OFCCP Director Harris has emphasized (i.e. compensation discrimination analyses rely upon comparison of pay among “similarly situated” employees).

How would you suggest OFCCP address pay groups?

Question Title

* 3. Predictability of OFCCP, especially as to the conduct of audits generally and with particular concern about compensation audits. What suggestions do you have for OFCCP surrounding predictability?

Question Title

* 4. Possible return to the use of Ombudsmen in the Regions to be a path for Government Contractors to vent problems and dissatisfaction. Would you like to see the return of the use of Ombudsmen?

Question Title

* 5. How to broaden OFCCP’s presence in the Government Contractor Community beyond the less than 1%, or so, which OFCCP routinely audits (an age-old challenge). How would you suggest OFCCP extend its presence outside of the Compliance Evaluations?

Question Title

* 6. “Better communication” to help the audit process and allow Contractors to feel comfortable to come to OFCCP. How would you suggest improved communications with OFFCP?
