OFCCP Ends Rigid Pay Discrimination Investigation Procedures
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has announced the rescission of Bush-era policies that had been hindering the investigation of pay discrimination claims under Executive Order 11246. At the same time, Director Patricia Shiu has issued new guidance on how to investigate such claims.
Legal Momentum advocated for these changes, as the former policies were too rigid and required more than what is required under Title VII principles to establish proof of discrimination. This rescission and new guidance restores much-needed flexibility for OFCCP investigators to effectively investigate and then rectify compensation discrimination when found. Eradicating pay discrimination benefits women, their families, and the nation's economy. For more information about the rescission and the new policy directive, please visit here.
