On Oct. 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs released its updated its Construction Compliance Review Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing (also known as a construction scheduling letter). The construction scheduling letter notifies federal contractors they will be undergoing a compliance review of their equal employment opportunity obligations. The updated letter applies to all reviews scheduled on or after Oct. 1, 2024.

OFCCP’s new construction scheduling letter requires additional information to be submitted by the contractor. New information contractors must submit includes:

• Detailed payroll information
• Employee layoffs
• Anti-harassment policies and EEO complaint procedures
• Usage of artificial intelligence in hiring

Contractors must also demonstrate that personnel practices such as seniority practices, job classifications and work assignments do not result in discrimination.

For additional information, see OFCCP’s FAQ and Contractor Compliance Institute, as well as law firm Jackson Lewis’s analysis.
