To assist employees and applicants in understanding their rights under the laws OFCCP enforces, the agency has developed a series of Worker Fact Sheets. In addition to general worker rights and sex discrimination, the series includes topic-specific versions covering disability, protected veteran status, pay transparency, pregnancy, and sexual orientation and gender identity. Each fact sheet is currently available in six languages in addition to English and Spanish.
