The Notice for Federal Contractors on Use of the 2006-2010 Census EEO Tabulation in the Development of Affirmative Action Programs (AAPs) is available at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/OFCCPNews/Census_EEO_Tab_508c.pdf

On February 26, 2013: the OFCCP issued a new directive governing any OFCCP audits opened on or after February 28, 2013. In Directive 307, the OFCCP outlines new enforcement procedures and standards for addressing systemic compensation discrimination, which will likely lead to more extensive compensation audits and increased allegations of pay and job-assignment discrimination. The OFCCP has also rescinded the two enforcement guidance documents on pay discrimination from 2006 known as the Compensation Standards and Voluntary Guidelines.

The Department of Labor has launched a new enforcement data web site.
http://ogesdw.dol.gov/index.php

The Department of Labor enforcement agencies foster and promote the welfare of wage earners and retirees of the United States, by ensuring their safety, improving their working conditions, and protecting their retirement and health care benefits. In carrying out this mission, the Agencies administer and enforce a variety of Federal labor laws that guarantee workers’ rights to safe and healthful working conditions, a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay, and freedom from employment discrimination, as well as the integrity of their pensions and health plans.

This site aims to make the enforcement data, collected by these agencies in the exercise of their mission, accessible and searchable, using common search criteria, by the public. It intends, also, to engage the public in new and creative ways of using this data. It is a work in progress, and new features, functionality, and search criteria will be added over time. It is foremost our invitation to you, the American public, to engage with us, and react to this first iteration of our work by telling us what you think and what you would like to see here.
