COVID-19 Response</h2> <p>In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, OFCCP 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. According to OFCCP’s bulletin sent on March 20, 2020, OFCCP will continue to provide resources and assistance to workers and the contractor community through its website and Help Desk, although local offices will no longer be accepting walk-ins until further notice. OFCCP continues to be fully engaged in enforcing affirmative action and non-discrimination requirements as to the approximately 25,000 federal contractors and 120,000 federal contractor establishments (as well as subcontractors). OFCCP intends to closely look at the pandemic period in future audits to ensure that companies did not discriminate or retaliate in employment actions being taken, and that affirmative action and equal employment opportunity continued.</p> <p>OFCCP will make every effort to continue assessing the effects of the health crisis on our activities and will provide updates to the federal contractor community as soon as possible.</p> <p>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 <a href="https://dol.secure.force.com/DOLFlowQuestions?agency=OFCCP">submit an inquiry online</a>.</p> <p>For additional related resources, please reference the <a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-19-and-ada-rehabilitation-act-and-other-eeo-laws ">EEOC’s Guidance</a> on ensuring non-discrimination in relation to the pandemic, particularly in relation to HIPAA, the ADA, and Section 503</p> <h3>Extensions and Adjustments</h3> <p>OFCCP will continue its compliance evaluations and complaint investigations, but in lieu of physical on-sites, OFCCP will maximize use of every alternative resource available, such as WebEx, Skype, and phones to conduct interviews and complete our evaluations.</p> <p>OFCCP is no longer granting an automatic 30-day COVID-19 extension to submit information requested in the Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing, but if contractors are experiencing difficulty in having their employees accessible during an evaluation or experiencing any other challenges related to the health crisis, OFCCP will remain flexible by coordinating with them and providing reasonable extensions where needed. <a href="/agencies/ofccp/contact/district-area-offices">Contractors and complainants should reach out to their local OFCCP point of contact to check the status of open evaluations and investigations.</a></p> <h3>National Interest Exemption</h3> <p>To facilitate response efforts for COVID-19, OFCCP issued a <a href="/sites/dolgov/files/OFCCP/National-Interest-Exemption-Memo-Coronavirus-Relief-Efforts.pdf">National Interest Exemption memorandum</a> to grant a limited, three-month exemption and waiver from some of the requirements of the laws administered by the agency <u>solely in relation to contracts providing COVID-19 relief</u>. OFCCP regulations authorize the OFCCP Director to exempt contracts from requiring the inclusion of any part of the equal opportunity clause in any specific contract when special circumstances in the national interest so require, when it is impracticable to act upon requests for exemptions individually, and where such waiver will contribute to convenience in the administration of the authorities enforced by OFCCP. As with NIE's granted under previous administrations, this exemption and waiver extends to all affirmative action obligations of supply and service and construction contracts, and other obligations under <a href="/agencies/ofccp/executive-order-11246/ca-11246">Executive Order 11246</a>, <a href="/agencies/ofccp/section-503/law">Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973</a>, and the <a href="/agencies/ofccp/vevraa/as-amended">Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974</a>. OFCCP continues to fully enforce all of its requirements as to existing contractors.

Federal contractors that qualify for the March 17, 2020, National Interest Exemption must continue to abide by the nondiscrimination and non-retaliation obligations under OFCCP’s laws – that is, they must not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status. Contractors also are prohibited from discriminating against applicants or employees because they inquire about, discuss, or disclose their compensation or that of others, subject to certain limitations, and may not retaliate against applicants or employees for engaging in protected activities. To this end, OFCCP will accept and investigate complaints of discrimination and/or retaliation, and all contractors must allow OFCCP access to its premises and records, as necessary, to investigate complaints and determine compliance with the law. If OFCCP determines that a violation occurred, OFCCP retains the right to seek remedies for such violations and may refer any such violations to the Office of the Solicitor for enforcement.</p> <p>The March 17, 2020, National Interest Exemption exempts qualifying contractors from all other obligations under Executive Order 11246, Section 503, VEVRAA, and their implementing regulations, including the preparation and maintenance of affirmative action programs for supply and service contractors posting requirements, solicitation/advertisement requirements, and the mandatory job listing requirement under VEVRAA.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--accordion-item paragraph--view-mode--default dol-accordion dol-accordion-border" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"> <div class="usa-accordion card" id="accordion5"> <span class="mb-0 usa-accordion__heading card"> <button class="usa-accordion__button" aria-controls="a5"> <i class="fa fa-angle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i> <div class="field field--name-field-p-accordion-header field--type-string field--label-hidden clearfix">My company's only federal contract is to provide services related to coronavirus relief, and thus we are covered by the coronavirus National Interest Exemption.
