Client Alert | 1 min read | 02.06.18

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) mailed out 1,000 Corporate Scheduling Announcement Letters (CSAL) on February 1, 2018, giving government contractors some advance notice that they are on the scheduling list for a compliance review this fiscal year. The OFCCP will start mailing the actual scheduling letters (which triggers the 30-day response requirement) on March 19, 2018.

Some good news for contractors – the agency also announced that no establishment with a review closed in the last five years will be scheduled for a compliance review this year; an increase from the previous two-year reprieve.
