With the July 1 certification deadline fast approaching, technical issues are again bedeviling OFCCP’s online Contractor Portal and preventing some federal contractors and subcontractors from certifying compliance with the Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. The “Add Establishment” button is no longer available for many contractors on the “My Company” page. Other contractors are unable to certify more than one establishment or functional unit at a time on the certification page.
OFCCP knows about these issues and is planning to correct them. Until then, a senior OFCCP official told the Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC), our affiliated nonprofit membership association, that contractors can contact the Contractor Portal Help Desk. OFCCP has stated that it will consider a contractor’s certification as timely if the contractor’s failure to certify is due to a pending help desk request.
