3O Identification and Resolution of Employment Discrimination

The CO may identify potential individual or systemic discrimination during the compliance review. Chapter 2 of this Manual contains a detailed description of the procedures the CO should use for gathering and analyzing facts to determine whether employment discrimination exists. These procedures are directed primarily at supply and service compliance evaluations, but the CO may adapt them for use in construction compliance reviews. The theoretical bases for proving discrimination are equally applicable to employment discrimination identified in construction compliance reviews. Remedies for employment discrimination are also found in Chapter 7 of this Manual.
