New EO Survey Required for Federal Contractors

A new survey requires federal contractors and subcontractors to submit annual pay data for gender and race in nine EEO-1 categories. About 60,000 will receive the survey in 2000. The OFCCP plans to send the survey to more than 90,000 of the 100,000 federal contractors in 2001. Thereafter, it will be sent to contractors on an annual basis (Howard Parker-Helpline).

According to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance , "the EO Survey asks for information on a contractor’s affirmative action plan as well as summary data on personnel activity and compensation. The EO Survey will increase compliance with the laws enforced by OFCCP.

The goals of the EO Survey are the following:

1. To increase compliance with equal opportunity requirements by improving contractor self-awareness and encourage self-evaluations.
2. To improve the deployment of scarce federal government resources toward contractors most likely to be out of compliance.
3. To increase agency efficiency by building on the tiered-review process already accomplished by OFCCP’s regulatory reform efforts, thereby allowing better resource allocation."
