What are goals and timetables as they relate to the OFCCP and how do contractors comply with the requirements of this office?

What will be an ideal response?


Whenever job categories include fewer women or minorities “than would reasonably be expected by their availability,” the contractor must establish goals and timetables (subject to OFCCP review) for increasing their representation. Goals are distinguishable from quotas in that quotas are inflexible; goals, on the other hand, are flexible objectives that can be met in a realistic amount of time. In determining representation rates, OFCCP suggests that contractors use eight criteria, including the population of women and minorities in the labor area surrounding the facility, the general availability of women and minorities having the requisite skills in the immediate labor area or in an area in which the contractor can reasonably recruit, and the degree of training the contractor is reasonably able to undertake as a means of making all job classes available to women and minorities.
