OFCCP Operations
OFCCP staff goes from 726 to 0 during the shutdown. As long as it lasts, OFCCP will not be able to operate.
While OFCCP operations have ceased during the shutdown, contractors need to keep in mind that this is temporary. It is highly recommended that contractors under audit continue to prepare for any/all pending audit requests and get their houses in order. This shutdown provides some breathing room, but it does not make anything go away.
EEOC Operations
EEOC goes from 2164 to 107 during the shutdown. They will continue to function in a limited fashion, will accept new charges and federal sector appeals (although they will not investigate any charges during the shutdown), and will litigate lawsuits where continuances are not granted by the court.
