The purpose of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is to enforce, for the benefit of job seekers and wage earners, the contractual promise of affirmative action and equal employment opportunity required of those who do business with the Federal government. The Department of Labor is committed to providing its customers - America's employers, workers, job seekers and retirees - with clear and easy-to-access information on how to comply with federal employment laws. Such information and guidance is known as compliance assistance." The OFCCP Federal Contract Compliance Manual is used by OFCCP auditors to assess compliance of government contractors with their Affirmative Action obligations
