OFCCP Directive 307, Procedures for Reviewing Contractor Compensation Systems and Practices

Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) released Directive 307 on Feb 26, 2013 containing “Procedures for Reviewing Contractor Compensation Systems and Practices.” Directive 307 applies to all reviews scheduled on or after February 28, 2013. It will also apply to open reviews initiated by the OFCCP prior to February 28, 2013 as long as there is no conflict with their earlier procedures or guidance related to compensation.

OFCCP has clarified the 2006 Compensation Standards and Voluntary Guidelines will “govern determinations regarding the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV) for systemic compensation discrimination in any OFCCP review scheduled, opened, or otherwise pending on the effective date of this Directive.”

The OFCCP has a fact sheet and FAQs on their website as resources for the contractors.  Information on compliance assistance(i.e. Webinar) will be out shortly.
