Proposed DOL regulations for hiring of disabled persons

Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors Regarding Individuals With Disabilities

The US Department of Labor issued a News Release about a new rule that would require both Federal contractors and subcontractors to set a 7% workforce hiring goal for persons with disabilities. This is in addition to the current diversity requirement for workforce equality.

A key reason for the expansion of the current requirement is to maximize the employment of Service-Disabled Veterans, as well as other persons with disabilities.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is asking the public to comment on the proposal, which was published in the Federal Register's December 9, 2011  edition. A copy of the document is available here.
