OFCCP Director Craig Leen presented at the American Bar Association’s Annual Meeting of the Labor and Employment Section in New Orleans on November 8. Leen’s comments centered on 503 and VEVRAA focused reviews. That same day, OFCCP issued a second 2019 Corporate Scheduling Announcement Lists that included 500 VEVRAA focused reviews. Here are the key takeaways from Leen’s presentation:
Although Leen specifically referenced this list in connection with Section 503 focused reviews, this list could also apply to a VEVRAA review.
Leen also stated that contractors may implement hiring preferences for IWDs and Veterans. According to Leen, such programs are not discriminatory. This position appears to be contrary to the EEOC’s guidance on voluntary preferences . Before implementing such a hiring preference, please consult with counsel.
