There are various rules and regulations formulated by the state to ensure equal job opportunities in federal organizations. This is essential because most of the government contractors would violate this requirement. Thus the state developed an OFCCP compliance checklist to ensure everything is in place. There are various ways that a contractor can use in order to ensure they comply with them. Here are the essentials things one can do in order to maintain the requirements.

One way to ensure that the contractor is in accordance with the law is by making sure they offer free and fair recruitment exercises. This implies that there should not be any cases of unfairness in the manner in which the procedure was conducted. This will begin with the requirements set for one to qualify. Some of these contractors will set a criterion that will disqualify a majority of the protected class. Hence in order to avoid any consequences, one is advised to carry out practices in fairness.

One way to comply with the requirements by the state is by making sure all the relevant records are well prepared and kept. Proper arranging will make it easy for one to identify them and access easily. There are various data that will be required for verification. Hence a manager should consider storing the applications, resumes, test results, written employment procedure and policies among others. Hence select a suitable record keeping mechanisms.

One of the stated requirement is that every job vacancy announcement follows the right channels. This implies that every detail of the post has to be accurate and in the right order. It should also go through the right offices until they get to the final consumer that is a job seeker. Failure to which the contractor will be going against the contract and the policies they signed up for. Therefore, every external job posting should follow up the right state policies and mediums.

When there is a post within the company, the manager has to make sure the general public is aware. However, before putting up the advert, they should consider checking if they included the tag-line. Normally, this is a short description of all the objectives of a company and what they intend on achieving.

Besides from storing the documents or records, one should be aware of the duration they can store them. For instance, if the organization has over 150 employees with contracts, then the records need to be well stored for a period of at least two years to avoid breaking the law.

There are certain cases when the contractor has been accused, or a complaint filed against them and a self-evaluation carried out. In such a situation they are required to keep the records of such an investigation. This will allow the board to access them.

Make sure that the equal employment opportunity posters are placed within the strategic locations within the buildings. For instance, they should be posted in the locker rooms, in the tea break areas among other locations. This will be a reminder of what the company objective is.
