Collectively, these laws prohibit discrimination, including discrimination when terminating an employee on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, and status as an individual with a disability or protected veteran.

  3. Agencies That Enforce Discrimination Laws • “Two DOL agencies enforce EEO laws: • The Employment Standards Administration's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) - Oversees EEO laws and regulations that apply to employers holding federal contracts and subcontracts. • The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management's Civil Rights Center (CRC) - Oversees equal opportunity in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance from DOL, and assures equal opportunity for all employees of DOL.”

  4. U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) “Is an independent federal agency that has EEO responsibilities for employees of most private employers, state and local governments, educational institutions, employment agencies, and labor organizations.”

  5. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) “Prohibits employers from discrimination against past and present members or applicants of the uniformed services.”

DISCRIMINATION LAWS - Employees of Federal Contractors and Subcontractors “Executive Order 11246 - Prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors and federally assisted construction contractors and subcontractors that generally have contracts that exceed $10,000 from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 41 CFR Part 60-1 - Regulation describing the obligations of contractors and subcontractors pursuant to Executive Order 11246.”

  7. People with Disabilities “Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act - Requires employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that exceed $10,000, and contracts or subcontracts for indefinite quantities to take affirmative steps to hire, retain, and promote qualified individuals with disabilities. 41 CFR Part 60-741 - Regulation describing the affirmative action and nondiscrimination obligations of contractors and subcontractors regarding individuals with disabilities pursuant to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act. 41 CFR Part 60-250 - Regulation describing the affirmative action obligations of contractors and subcontractors for employing disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era.”
