With federal contracting opportunities come a host of compliance requirements companies must be aware of. These laws are mandated by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). Divisions of companies and subcontractors are many times subject to the same compliance requirements imposed upon direct contractors. Likewise, subcontractors and other divisions of a company oftentimes need to implement Affirmative Action Plans (APP).
The LaborLawCenter™ understands the questions and concerns that may arise as a result of your contracting compliance regulations. For your convenience, we provide the resources, products, and FAQ below to address your questions on your most complex contracting and subcontracting scenarios. All of our Federal Contractor products have been updated to reflect 2024 compliance requirements.
