KEEPING UP WITH CHANGES IN EEOC & OFCCP COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS There are many recent changes in the laws, regulations and court case history which require employers to take steps to ensure compliance, as exemplified by recent changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act and enactment of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. There is also a greater emphasis on enforcement by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) which increases the potential liability each employer faces. For information on maintaining compliance visit CRI University for compliance updates and webinars. |
