Title: What You Can Learn From an Ostrich . . . Compensation Analyses and the OFCCP

Description: In the not so distant past, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) tried, largely unsuccessfully, to investigate compensation discrimination. Today, with over $30,000,000 in additional funding and 200+ new employees, failure is no longer an option. Employers need to realize that investigating compensation disparities is now a primary mandate within the Agency and the days of submitting compensation data with no recourse are over.

This presentation is for practitioners of all levels. Attendees will leave with tools and strategies for preparing their organizations for the eventual compensation review.

Workplace Application: Attendees will leave with an understanding of what their organizations need to do to be proactive with respect to OFCCP compensation investigations.

Recertification /Learning Objectives:

1. Methods for investigating compensation disparities (Title VII/EPA)
2. Understanding OFCCP compensation enforcement
3. Strategies for reducing legal exposure
