OFCCP today announced the publication of a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to revise and replace its Sex Discrimination
Guidelines. This NPRM would rescind OFCCP’s outdated guidelines on federal
contractors’ obligations not to discriminate on the basis of sex under Executive Order 11246, as amended, and replace them with
updated regulations. This update, the first in more than four decades, would
reflect present-day workplace realities and align OFCCP’s rules with current
law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The proposed rule
addresses compensation discrimination, sexual harassment, failure to provide
workplace accommodations for pregnancy, and gender identity and family
caregiving discrimination, among other topics.
The NPRM will be published in
the Federal Register on January 30, 2015. Members of the public will
have 60 days to provide comments. A press release about this action
is available online. For more information,
please see the landing page created for this topic on OFCCP’s web site.
