California Employers Association can help your business with the design, documentation, implementation, and update of your Affirmative Action Plan (AAP).

ARE YOU AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER? You are an Affirmative Action Employer if you have:

• Have 50 or more employees and Federal contracts worth $50,000 or more
• OR are a construction contractor or subcontractor with a federal or federally assisted contract valued at $50,000 or more
• A financial institution (banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders, etc.) with 50 or more employees
• A hospital or a health care organization with 50 or more employees
  

You may be covered by Executive Order 11246, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam-Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act and Jobs for Veterans Act. This requires you to have a written Affirmative Action Plan according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP.) You may also be subject to “EO surveys” from the government, compliance checks, compliance reviews (at your workplace), and “glass ceiling” audits at your corporate office.

CEA Can Help!
