Workshop 4
New Frontiers in State Affirmative Action Reporting
Bill Osterndorf, DCI Consulting Group, Inc.
Affirmative action reporting requirements for state governments are a serious issue for employers. While most of the focus regarding states is on pay reporting, affirmative action reporting is often just as burdensome. In this session, we will learn:
- Why submitting federal affirmative action plans is the wrong answer for complying with state requirements
- What sanctions states can use for non-compliance, including monetary penalties
- How to interact with state governments that make burdensome requests
