Affirmative Action compliance is a vital responsibility for federal contractors, ensuring fair and equitable hiring practices. However, navigating the complex requirements of Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) can be overwhelming.
That’s where Jobs4More comes in. Designed to streamline your compliance efforts, Jobs4More helps federal contractors meet their obligations efficiently, without added administrative burden. In this blog, we’ll explore how Jobs4More simplifies the process of achieving and maintaining Affirmative Action compliance.
Key Affirmative Action Compliance Requirements
Before diving into how Jobs4More supports compliance, it’s important to understand the core requirements federal contractors must meet:
1. Executive Order 11246 Requires contractors to ensure nondiscrimination in employment and take proactive steps to promote equal opportunity for all applicants and employees.
2. Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act Establishes a 7% workforce goal for individuals with disabilities and mandates outreach efforts to attract and hire qualified candidates from this group.
3. VEVRAA Mandates outreach and job listing efforts to attract protected veterans, including disabled veterans and those recently separated from service.
These laws also require contractors to document Good Faith Outreach efforts and maintain thorough records of their recruiting practices.
