With discrimination coming to the forefront of world news lately, many organizations are asking themselves: What can we do to actively prevent discrimination in our organization? I’ve seen a variety of options out there ranging from internal audits by 3rd party anti-discrimination consulting firms to pro-active succession planning that tracks minority status. While organizations I’ve worked with differ in these types of approaches, one solution at minimum in the United States has been clear for my entire lifetime: federal contractors must comply with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) guidelines.
Per an announcement on the Department of Labor website, a new Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305 was approved in May. As of today, Federal contractors must post the comply by updating the form by August 4, 2020. An example new form can be found here. I warn against simply using a search engine to look for updated forms as these may lead you to the expired form (check the expiration date at the top of the form first).
Also, while you are on the Department of Labor website and making updates to your system in response, you might want to check out the updates to the Federal Contract Compliance Manual. Specifically, the guidance around the Invitation to Self-Identify as a Protected Veteran. Additionally, the “How to Comply” postings and notices guide is of great help. I’ve found customers making updates to all of their voluntary identification forms based on these updates.
For SAP SuccessFactors customers, this typically means:
- Updating your job application template to include the new form(s)
- Updating your Onboarding forms to include the new forms(s)
I recommend referencing the Department of Labor website to understand the updated requirements and then working with your IT department, SAP Partner, and/or SAP to make updates to the recruiting application template and/or Onboarding forms to ensure compliance.
Hopefully this brief update has been helpful! While many people are out there working hard to come up with a variety of solutions for today’s social issues, one thing is for certain: EEO is the law.
