Affirmative Action
Executive Order 11246 protects employees of covered
Federal contractors and sub-contractors from employment
discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion,
sex and national origin. The Executive Order also
requires that certain employers take affirmative action
to ensure that all qualified applicants and employees
receive equal employment opportunity. E.O. 11246 and its
regulations are administered and enforced by the
Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs (OFCCP).
Affirmative action, or positive measures, must be taken
by covered employers to recruit and advance qualified
minorities and women for jobs in which they are
underutilized relative to their availability.
Affirmative actions include training programs, outreach
efforts, and other positive steps. These procedures
should be incorporated into the company’s written
personnel policies. Employers with written affirmative
action programs must implement them, keep them on file
and update them annually.
Employers are also required to take all necessary
actions to ensure that no one attempts to intimidate or
discriminate against an individual for filing a
complaint or participating in a proceeding under the
Executive Order.
