The OFCCP announced that they will be hosting a public webinar for its final rule regarding pay transparency on Monday, January 11, 2016 at 2:00PM EST. The final rule goes into effect on January 11, 2016 and implements Executive Order 13665, which ensures that employees and applicants of federal contractors and subcontractors are able to freely discuss pay without fear of retaliation, which in turn, will promote pay transparency. It also amends EO 11246 by requiring federal contractors to incorporate pay transparency into their existing nondiscrimination provision. The final rule also requires contractors to amend their equal opportunity clause, policy statements, employee handbooks, etc. to include the prescribed nondiscrimination language.
The webinar is a great opportunity for contractors and subcontractors to become familiar with the changes and ensure compliance. During the webinar, the OFCCP will review the final rule, provide hypothetical examples, and answer questions. If you are unable to attend the webinar, BCG will be publishing a blog with the key takeaways from the webinar.
