By now, we hope all of you have read the regulations and are prepared to address/implement what is stated in the final regulations (503/VEVRAA).
Clarification by the OFCCP indicates contractors DO NOT need to begin soliciting pre-offer disability/protected veteran status information until your organization’s first Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) cycle after March 24, 2014.
For example:
- Contractors with calendar‐year AAPs do not need to begin soliciting pre‐offer self‐ID information until January 1, 2015.
- Contractors with AAP implementation dates between January 2 and March 23, 2014 do not need to begin soliciting pre‐offer self‐ID information until the beginning of their 2015 AAP cycle.
- Contractors with AAP implementation dates on or after March 24, 2014 need to begin soliciting pre‐offer self‐ID information at the beginning of their 2014 AAP cycle.
This last one is especially important because it’s rapidly approaching for folks.
Also, there are other paperwork/announcement/outreach items that need to begin for all contractors on March 24, 2014. They are available and discussed in the downloads below:
