OFCCP Provides More Transparency to Federal Contractors
As part of ongoing efforts to increase
transparency of preliminary findings with federal contractors, and to achieve
consistency across regional and district offices, the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is standardizing the use of
Predetermination Notices (PDN).
With Directive 2018-01, OFCCP
provides a uniform protocol for OFCCP staff to follow across all of its regions
for using PDNs in both individual and systemic discrimination cases.
A PDN is a letter OFCCP uses to
inform federal contractors of the agency’s preliminary findings of employment
discrimination. Prior to Directive
2018-01, OFCCP reserved use of the PDN for systemic discrimination cases and
permitted regional and district offices discretion in whether to issue the PDN
prior to issuing a Notice of Violation.
