OFCCP has begun a large wave of compliance audits. The audits focus intensely on compensation discrimination, veterans and disability-based outreach and recruitment, and adverse impact. During the past year, OFCCP developed new ways to investigate pay including bonus, commission and other forms of incentive pay. The result: 33% of audits had findings of pay discrimination and resulted in monetary settlements. In this session, we’ll discuss the OFCCP’s new, aggressive approach in audits today and discuss practical ways for employers to respond.
