In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, OFCCP is reaching out to ensure you know the agency is continuing to pursue its important mission of ensuring equal employment opportunity while making adjustments to ensure all of its activities are consistent with current public health guidelines. For example, OFCCP will continue to provide resources and assistance to workers and the contractor community through its website, Help Desk, and Contractor Assistance Portal, although local offices will no longer be accepting walk-ins until further notice.
Likewise, OFCCP will continue its compliance reviews, focused reviews, and complaint investigations, but in lieu of physical onsites, OFCCP will maximize use of every alternative resource available, such as WebEx, Skype, and phones to conduct interviews and complete our evaluations.
If contractors are experiencing difficulty in having their employees accessible during a review or experiencing any other challenges related to the health crisis, OFCCP will remain flexible by coordinating with them and providing reasonable extensions where needed. Contractors and complainants should reach out to their local OFCCP point of contact to check the status of open evaluations and investigations.
OFCCP will make every effort to continue assessing the effects of the health crisis on our activities and will provide updates to our stakeholder community as soon as possible.
If you need assistance with any other OFCCP matters related to the health crisis, please contact our Help Desk at 1-800-397-6251. The hearing impaired may call the text telephone (TTY) at 1-877-889-5627 or submit an inquiry online.
