As anticipated, by perhaps earlier than expected, OFCCP has released the next round of anticipated audit.  The 2020 CSAL is included in OFCCP’s FOIA website.  The list has a total of 2,250 establishments and includes contractors selected for new accommodation and promotion focused reviews.  Institutions of higher education are also included in this list as OFCCP indicated they would be following release of the Educational Institutions Technical Assistance Guide.   There is a separate list of 200 Construction contractors selected for audit.  This is the first time construction contractors have been included on the CSALs since the release of the new Construction Technical Assistance Guide.

As with past lists, the CSAL is an advance notice of audits to be scheduled in the future.  Contractors will be notified of the actual commencement of their audits by receipt of a Scheduling Letter.  OFCCP is still in the process of scheduling audits identified on previous CSAL lists, and has just begun scheduling VEVRAA Focused Reviews.

We will provide additional details, including timing of scheduling of audits from this CSAL, as they become available.

Laura is a guiding force in the firm’s most specialized and technical practice areas where she leverages an analytics-focused approach to partner with her clients in building legally compliant programs around which they can anchor their workplaces achieving productivity and stability.

Laura understands that creating a competitive advantage for employers in today’s workplace involves using a data-driven approach to counsel companies on the development of proactive and equitable non-discriminatory practices in hiring, promotions, separations and pay—and where advancements in technology can create both opportunities for efficiencies and risk that can be measured.

Laura partners closely with government contractors to understand, implement and demonstrate compliance with their EEO regulatory and compliance obligations. She also works closely with non-government contractor clients to conduct risk assessments of their programs, policies, and training to align with federal and state anti-discrimination requirements.

Laura is the editor and a principal contributor of the GovCon Employment Exchange blog and presents on pay equity and government contractor obligations. To round out her days, Laura enjoys spending time with her family and friends attending sports events, working out, riding her bike, playing pickleball and taking in Colorado’s incomparable sunsets.
