We’ve just learned that OFCCP will soon be sending out a wave of approximately 2,500 Courtesy Scheduling Announcement Letters (CSALs) to establishments across the country slated for audit.

The CSALs do not initiate audits but instead put employers on notice that their establishment has been identified for an upcoming OFCCP compliance review.

Contractors may confirm whether one of their establishments was mailed a CSAL by faxing a written request on company letterhead to OFCCP’s Division of Program Operations at (202) 693-1305. For more information, check out the answers to Frequently Asked Questions about CSALs at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/faqs/csalfaqs.htm.

Audits initiated under this new round of letters will be subject to the Agency’s revised scheduling letter.  As such, it’s imperative that you start preparing for your upcoming audit now.
