OFCCP Publishes ANPRM on Compensation Data Collection Tool

The wait is over… OFCCP has published the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the compensation data collection tool. 

According to the ANPRM, the purpose of the new tool is to provide insight into potential problems of pay discrimination by contractors that warrant further review or evaluation by OFCCP. The tool is envisioned primarily as a screening tool, although it may also have research value.

Possible uses for the collected data include generating insight into potential problems of compensation discrimination at the establishment level that warrant further review or evaluation by OFCCP and to identify and analyze industry trends, Federal contractors' compensation practices and potential equal employment-related issues.

Even though it's only an advanced notice, it gives significant insight into where the Agency is heading and what employers can expect.

In this installment, we'll be talking about the data collection tool, what kinds of information may be collected and implications for employers.
