Ask the Experts is an online forum where federal contractors and subcontractors are invited to submit questions to industry experts related to OFCCP compliance, affirmative action planning, and equal employment opportunity. Simply register your company on LocalJobNetwork.com to submit a question. Questions and answers will occasionally be featured in The OFCCP Digest for the benefit of all readers.
Question: Staffing Agency Letter
I understand that we have obligations to notify staffing agencies about our federal contractor status, but what does that notification really ask? Are we putting them on alert that they need to send us diverse candidate pools, are we notifying them that they may have obligations as a sub-contractor or are we just satisfying a regulation? I send these letters out annually and don't really see the benefit other than we are meeting our compliance requirement. Can someone please explain the rule? |
Answered by Marilynn L. Schuyler from Schuyler Affirmative Action Practice:
The purpose behind the rule is to ensure that the staffing agencies are keeping you compliant. As your sub-contractor, they need to be conducting outreach according to the federal contractor regulations. The notice itself is not the most critical issue. As a federal contractor, it is your obligation to ensure that the staffing agency is following the regulations, as though you were conducting the outreach for yourself. |
