OFCCP Starts New Round of CSALs

As of May 2, 2012, the Office of Federal Compliance Programs (OFCCP) began sending out the next wave of Corporate Scheduling Announcement Letters (CSALs) to alert federal contractors and subcontractors of possible upcoming compliance evaluations. Significantly, it appears that OFCCP is moving away from its prior practice of sending a single CSAL to corporate headquarters with a list of potential locations that could be scheduled for audit, and is instead sending individual letters directly to specific establishments that may be subject to a compliance evaluation. Contractors should therefore be diligent in alerting individual establishments to be on the lookout for any such letters and to immediately forward them to corporate headquarters.
