Disability Self Identify Forms

Lauren Z. - October 25, 2017

Hello,
We are in the process of re-surveying our employees and using the Self Identify form as required. However, because the form is two pages, we are getting forms back with only page one and NOT page two. Most likely because they self identify with not having a disability so no request for an accommodation was made. Is this acceptable to only have page one on file? Or should we go back and require each person submit page two? I ask because the form is voluntary, we can prove that they were given both pages, and that they then choose to only provide page one. Please advise.
Thank you!

Hi Lauren, You're right, the form is voluntary, but in the event of an audit, it may be difficult to show compliance if many of the forms are incomplete. Where possible, the best practice is to obtain the second page to ensure the company can show evidence of that it is fulfilling its obligations. Good question!

You can use this OFCCP audit checklist to ensure you're doing what is required to maintain OFCCP's regulations including VEVRAA, Section 503, and EO 11246. Or request a demo to streamline your compliance and recruiting efforts.
