OFCCP Issues New Guidance on “Certainty” Principle
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has announced a new directive to provide clear and specific guidelines to contractors about what OFCCP expects of them so they can comply with the law. Under this new directive, OFCCP is establishing a process to facilitate the continued provision of clarity and certainty in OFCCP policies and practices.
