OFCCP Says, "Never Mind" Those Surveys

Contractors with the federal government may have completed an "Equal Opportunity Survey" (EOS) from the OFCCP, the federal agency that enforces affirmative action plan requirements. The OFCCP began the EOS program in 2000, and had issued some 80,000 of them to date. The EOS was intended to determine which contractors were most likely to be violating EEO obligations imposed on federal contractors, triggering audits.

Anyway, the OFCCP apparently determined the EO Surveys were not a necessary enforcement tool and eliminated the requirement. They initially proposed to do this in January.

One less paperwork obligation!
