1R01 Reasons to Conduct an On-Site Review

When appropriate and after consultation with their managers, Investigators may waive OFCCP’s pre-enforcement and conciliation procedures and offer the contractor an expedited conciliation option to enter directly into a conciliation agreement. (See 41 CFR 60-1.33(e)). If expedited resolution is not possible, the Investigator must proceed with an on-site review if:

• The contractor provided insufficient data to conclude the review at the desk audit stage;
• There are indicators of potential discrimination;
• The contractor failed to provide a completed AAP; or
• The contractor has complaints or other problems that merit an on-site review.

In instances where problems are resolved through a document submission during the desk audit, the Investigator’s on-site review may consist of technical assistance to ensure that the contractor is aware of its obligations.
