Although the regulations are already in effect, OFCCP has stated that it will exercise enforcement discretion for a period of 90 days. During that time, the department will not cite a contractor for purely technical recordkeeping violations where the contractor is taking reasonable steps to update its systems to comply with the rules and is maintaining records according to previously established procedures.Under the new regulations, “Internet Applicants” are individuals who 1 submit an “expression of interest” in employment through the Internet or “related electronic data technologies”; 2 the contractor “considers” for employment in a particular position; 3 indicate that they meet the “basic qualifications” for the position; and 4 do not remove themselves from consideration prior to receiving an offer of employment. Where an employer accepts both traditional and “Internet” applications for a position, all applicants for that position are treated as “Internet Applicants” for OFCCP purposes.Contractors must retain applications and résumés of all applicants, including those retrieved from online résumés or internal résumé databases. The regulations allow for some data management techniques as long as the contractor follows certain recordkeeping criteria. For example, contractors must maintain detailed records of the substantive search criteria used in searching internal databases and external electronic databases, such as Monster. Contractors must also retain records identifying all job seekers contacted regarding their interest in a particular position.In other related news, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced on January 27 that the Employer Information Report, also known as the EEO1 Report, will have a new format for the reporting period due September 30, 2007.
