Overview:
On June 14, 2016, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) published its final rule substantially revising the sex discrimination guidelines for federal contractors and subcontractors. The new rule brings the OFCCP regulations to sex discrimination guidelines implemented in 1970 “from the ‘Mad Men’ era to the modern era.”
The final rule applies to any business or organization that
(1) holds a single federal contract, subcontract or federally assisted construction contract in excess of $10,000;
(2) has federal contracts or subcontracts that, combined, total in excess of $10,000 in any 12-month period; or
(3) holds government bills of lading, serves as a depository of federal funds, or is an issuing and paying agency for U.S. savings bonds and notes in any amount.
Why Should You Attend:
The implementation of the Final Rule continues a growing trend toward increased protections for workers based on sex and gender, including pregnancy and sex stereotyping.
Although the updated Sex Discrimination Guidelines may not change the existing practices of many federal government contractors and subcontractors, they are yet another indication of OFCCP’s continued focus on gender issues, including but not limited to, gender-based pay discrimination.
The Guidelines also serve as a timely reminder for employers to consider consulting with an employment attorney to revise and update their equal employment opportunity and leave policies, as well as their compensation systems and practices, to ensure compliance with applicable law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, gender and/or pregnancy.
