OFCCP received a record $67.5 million for 24,508 workers in 2008, a 133% increase in financial remedies since 2001. Not only has OFCCP increased the dollar amount in back pay, salary, and benefits, but the number of American workers affected has also increased. Ninety-nine percent of the financial remedies were stated to have been collected in cases involving a significant number of workers or applicants subjected to discrimination because of an unlawful employment practice or policy. OFCCP’s strategic approach to seeking out and finding systemic discrimination has created a few hot spots for contractors to be aware of. These hot spots include: recordkeeping (especially with regard to applicants and hires selection decisions), validation of pre-employment testing, and compensation analyses. The number one revenue maker still appears to be in regard to inadequate selection decision recordkeeping. However, other areas of compliance are receiving an increasing amount of attention from posting jobs for veterans to accessibility of online application systems.
