Implementing Executive Order 13672

Implementing Executive Order 13672 Prohibiting Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

On July 21, 2014, President Obama signed Executive Order 13672 which amended Executive Order 11246 to specifically add sexual orientation and gender identity to the protected bases.  During this introductory webinar we will provide an overview of the new regulations including important dates to remember, which contracts are covered, and other changes made by the regulations.

Final Rule to Protect Workers from Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

The U.S. Department of Labor announced on December 3rd a new rule prohibiting discrimination on the bases of sexual orientation and gender identity in the federal contracting workforce. 

The rule implements Executive Order (EO) 13672, which was signed by President Obama on July 21.  EO 13672 tasked the department with updating the rules implementing EO 11246 to add gender identity and sexual orientation to the classes it protects.  While 18 states, the District of Columbia and many businesses, large and small, already offer workplace protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, July's executive order was the first federal action to ensure LGBT workplace equality in the private sector. 

The rule implementing this EO will become effective 120 days after its publication in the Federal Register and will apply to federal contracts entered into or modified on or after that date.  More information is available on the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs Web site at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/LGBT/.
