Inclusiveness isn’t just good for workers; it’s
smart for business. Also, ensuring that everyone has an equal employment
opportunity is the law. That’s why the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) requires federal contractors to ask workers to voluntarily identify
if they have a disability.
Federal contractors also need this information to
measure their progress toward achieving equal opportunity for people with
disabilities.
Any changes on the form? No changes
have been made to the form. The only
difference is the expiration date.
When must
contractors begin using the form? Federal contractors must begin using a form with
the January 31, 2020 expiration date immediately.
Why should
I self-identify? Disclosing whether you have a disability enables
contractors to measure their progress toward equal employment opportunity. The form is voluntary and cannot be
used against you, or shared with your supervisor or coworkers.
