OFCCP Provides COVID-19 Update for Employers That Use or Are Considering FAAPs

OFCCP announced today that its Functional Affirmative Action Program (FAAP) team continues to process FAAP requests and certifications from their remote work stations, but that it has made the following adjustments in response to COVID-19:

  • For FAAP contractors, and contractors interested in entering into FAAP agreements, we are available to meet by phone, WebEx, and Skype.
  • All requests for agreement modifications, new application requests, updates, and certifications of FAAP agreements will be emailed for review and electronic signature.
  • Finalized agreements will be signed by the Director and returned to the contractor electronically.

OFCCP also clarified that if contractors are experiencing challenges due to COVID-19, the agency will remain flexible and will provide “reasonable” extensions if requested. If contractors have further questions, or need assistance with their FAAP agreements, they can contact OFCCP’s FAAP unit at OFCCP_FAAP-UNIT@dol.gov.
