"Opening Doors" - OFCCP's Worker Brochure

Cover of OFCCP brochure.

At the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, we protect workers, promote diversity and enforce the law. We hold those who do business with the federal government-contractors and subcontractors-to the fair and reasonable standard that they take affirmative action and not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, religion, national origin, disability or status as a protected veteran.

Nearly one in four American workers is employed by a company that receives federal funds for contracted work. That's more than 200,000 businesses with contracts totaling almost $700 billion. At OFCCP we protect all employees of those businesses and all who seek employment with them by:

Educating workers about their rights;
Inspecting workplaces to make sure they are free of discrimination;
Securing good job opportunities for victims of discrimination;
Recovering back wages, interest and benefits for affected workers; and
Changing bad employment policies and practices to keep discrimination from happening again.

We are committed to keeping the doors of opportunity open for all workers.
