The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) immediately stops holding federal contractors responsible for taking affirmative action or allowing it. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, U.S. Department of Labor In 1965, President Johnson issued Executive Order 11246, directing federal departments and agencies to include non-discrimination and affirmative action requirements in all federal contracts, including federally assisted construction contracts. Pursuant to that order, the Secretary of Labor created the Defense Contractor Attorney near John's Island SC in the Office of Federal Contract Compliance in the U.S.UU.
Department of Labor (DOL), which was later renamed the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). Initially, the execution was carried out by the various contracting agencies, under the direction of the OFCCP. In 1978, the entire federal contract enforcement program was consolidated into the DOL, transferring the compliance activities of 11 agencies to the OFCCP. The enforcement authority of the OFCCP encompasses several statutes in addition to Executive Order 11246, and the scope of that authority has expanded throughout the years.
In 1972, Congress expanded non-discrimination and affirmative action requirements for federal contractors to include Vietnam-era veterans and veterans with special disabilities. The following year, section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 added the requirement that government contractors could take non-discrimination and affirmative action on behalf of eligible individuals with disabilities. Although OFCCP budget requests have increased by almost 38 percent in real dollars since fiscal year 1994, Congress has always allocated a smaller amount than requested (see table 3,. Although the OFCCP budget has increased by 15.8 percent in real terms since fiscal year 1994, this The increase has not been constant.
Between fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1997, congressional appropriations decreased by 2 percent in real terms (see Table 3,. While the OFCCP has experienced increased funding since fiscal year 1997, the agency's budget may not keep up with inflation in the future. For example, the request for fiscal year 1999 was lower than that for fiscal year 1998, both in real and real terms (see Table 3.1 and Figure 3). In addition, in both real and real dollars, the President's request for fiscal year 2001 is lower than the request for fiscal year 2000.
Congressional Allocation The actual level of full-time full-time decreased 7.4 percent between fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1999, from 785 full-time to 727 full-time (see Table 3.3 and Figure 3). Meanwhile, the most drastic decline occurred between fiscal years 1994 and 1997, which translated into a 9.3 percent decline in full-time periods. That number of full-time employees was the lowest number of staff that the OFCCP had in the past two decades. During this period of reduced funding and staff, OFCCP complaint resolutions declined steadily (see table 3,.
In fiscal year 1999, the OFCCP resolved 489 fewer complaints than in fiscal year 1994, representing a decrease of 61 percent. In addition, the OFCCP resolved fewer complaints in fiscal year 1994 than in any of the previous 13 years. Specifically, the figure for fiscal year 1994 was 69 percent lower than the figure of 2,589 complaint resolutions in fiscal year 1982.

Husch Blackwell provides strategic guidance and, when necessary, a strong defense to government contractors who are subject to the requirements of the Federal Office of Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). We also develop and review compensation analyses under attorney-client privilege separately from those required in AAP analyses in order to meet OFCCP compliance obligations and allow contractors to confidentially correct wage disparities.
