Employers that have contracts or subcontracts with Federal government agencies have certain additional employment law responsibilities.

DOL's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) administers and enforces three laws that prohibit Federal contractors and subcontractors from discrimination in hiring and require them to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity in their employment processes.
