Why We are the HR Compliance Experts?

 

“I just got back from a 3-hour lunch meeting where I reviewed with a vice president all the changes in our benefits and services policies that will appear in the next iteration of our Employee Handbook. I could speak with knowledge, confidence and authority largely because of your Personnel Policy Manual with all of its supporting guidance and documentation. You are my #1 resource when it comes to policies. Keep up the good work!”

Do all employers have to have a written affirmative action plan?

Equal employment opportunity laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act do not require employers to create written affirmative action plans (AAPs). Generally, only certain federal contractors and subcontractors are required to create AAPs.

 

                            [Download Free Policies]

The three federal laws that require contractors to have written Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) are Executive Order 11246, the Rehabilitation Act, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act. The requirements for written affirmative action plans apply to contractors or subcontractors with annual federal contracts totaling $50,000 or more and at least 50 employees. These contractors and subcontractors must create and implement Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) annually. The plans consist of statistical analyses of the employer’s "underutilization" of individuals from certain protected classes and include the steps that will be taken to improve their representation in the employer’s workforce. Separate Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) must be created for women and minorities, Vietnam era and disabled veterans, and disabled individuals. Although the plans must be written each year, they do not have to be filed with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (the agency that oversees the contracts) until an audit is conducted.

[Creating HR Policies or Employee Handbook?]

Employers that are not specifically required by law to create Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) should consider carefully whether to develop a formal Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs). The creation of a voluntary written plan may expose the employer to potential liability for reverse discrimination. Accordingly, employers should consult legal counsel before implementing a voluntary Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs). For further information on Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) and federal contractor requirements, see Equal Employment Opportunity, page 201:13, note 15.
