OFCCP has released a questions and answers document (download PDF) on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Ricci v. DeStefano. For the last 8 months some federal contractors have wondered whether the Ricci ruling had implications for how (1) contractors should conduct adverse impact analyses, (2) OFCCP would evaluate selection procedure validity research, (3) to differentiate reasonable alternatives from unreasonable alternatives.
The FAQ section includes:
- A summary of the Court's decision;
- Consideration of how the decision affects OFCCP's procedures during compliance reviews and contractors' affirmative action obligations;
- General suggestions for how contractors can avoid scenarios like the one seen in Ricci.
