What are my affirmative action obligations as a Federal contractor covered by VEVRAA?
The Equal Employment Opportunity Clause in a Federal contract requires that you practice nondiscrimination and take affirmative action in employment with respect to covered veterans. Affirmative actions are the actions, policies, and procedures designed to achieve equal employment opportunity. The affirmative action obligation requires (1) thorough, systematic efforts to prevent discrimination from occurring or to detect it and eliminate it as promptly as possible; and (2) proactive recruitment and outreach measures. You also may be required to develop a written affirmative action program for each of your establishments if you have 50 or more employees and (1) a contract of $50,000 or more entered into before December 1, 2003 or (2) a contract of $100,000 or more entered into or modified on or after December 1, 2003.
