Compliance Evaluation Representation

THOMAS HOUSTON associates, inc. has a proven track record of successful representation for more than 35 years. Our professional teams maintain effective relationships within all levels of the OFCCP organization which include compliance officers, assistant and district directors. Our experienced project teams may act as advisors and/or negotiators throughout all phases of the compliance evaluation process.

 

Compliance evaluation phases include:

 

  • On-site letter - Receipt of this letter begins the onsite process where our teams may negotiate and resolve issues prior to the on-site visit
  • On-site evaluation - During the on-site visit with the compliance officer or designated OFCCP official, our expert team is available to be on-site in conjunction with your company's representative(s)
  • Receipt of Closure Letter - Receipt of this letter officially closes the compliance evaluation process

In some cases the OFCCP may identify further issues during the on-site visit. These issues may be negotiated which may result in a closure letter or in the following:

 

  • Notice of Violation (NOV) - This notice issued by the OFCCP identifies violations found as a result of the Compliance Evaluation and/or on-site visit. No violation is final until the Conciliation Agreement is issued and signed by the OFCCP and company representative
  • Conciliation Agreement (CA) - This agreement generated by the OFCCP outlines the requests and reporting deadlines as result of the NOV. Our experts may negotiate the terms and conditions of the Conciliation Agreement before it is finalized

FTA Compliance Evaluation Phases

  • Letter of Finding/Remedial Action Plan
  • Applicant/Recipient/Subrecipient Response
  • Final Remedial Action Plan
