Affirmative Action Plans

Does your company know all the facts? Do you know that Affirmative Action Plans (AAP) are required by federal regulations for all companies with more than 50 employees and more than $50,000 in federal government contracts or subcontracts and that these plans must contain specific written procedures as well as supporting statistical analyses? And that new regulations regarding these plans went into effect on December 13, 2000?

Fortunately, at Washington Employers, we do know all the facts regarding Affirmative Action Plans and we are always available to help you with this time-consuming and often frustrating process.

Our expert staff can create for you a customized plan containing all the required elements, including full narratives, detailed statistical analyses, and goal statements. Typically, an AAP is completed within 30 days. We can, however, expedite the process for members who are facing an audit by the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). For this service, Washington Employers charges a fee you will find to be extremely competitive with other outside consultants.

If by chance your company is audited, you'll have the reassurance of knowing that Washington Employers will make sure you are completely prepared. Our staff thoroughly understands the current regulations and is able to serve in an advisory capacity throughout the audit process. This assistance is available to all members even if Washington Employers does not prepare your AAP.
