Affirmative Action Plan and OFCCP Guidelines

Anonymous - October 14, 2020
Back to Ask the Experts

Our entities fall under one parent company, however our entities are all still separate legal entities under the parent company. We have one federal entity under the main umbrella, the other entities are commercial/industrial and do not have any federal work involvement. Should our AAP efforts be focused on our Federal contractor with regards to the 16 AA steps to compliance? Or it includes our non federal entities as well?

My second part of the question is our federal entity is a construction contractor and we do work for more than $100,000 so I know we should be maintaining and updating our 16 steps to AA compliance, but do we need to have separate AAP’s in place for VEVRAA, and Section 503? If so, are we able to combine plans into 1? Are there helpful resources on how to compile those specific plans if can be combined?

Also to confirm a separate AAP for EO 11246 is only applicable for non construction federal contractors correct?

Thank you
