Speaking on July 27 to the Industry Liaison Group’s 29th Annual National Conference to an audience of human resources professionals for the nation’s top companies, the Office of Contract Compliance Director Patricia Shiu emphasized the OFCCP’s top initiatives. She stated that the OFCCP will focus on pay equity and compensation discrimination and affirmative action for military veterans and persons with disabilities. The OFCCP issued proposed rule-making establishing “benchmarks” for recruiting and hiring of veterans in April 2011 and is presently evaluating the comments it received. Shiu characterized those as benchmarks rather than quotas or ceilings.
