In an effort to provide additional compliance assistance resources to contractors, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued Directive 2019-03 in late 2018. Under this Directive, OFCCP announced planned enhancements to its Help Desk as well as a process for issuing Opinion Letters that provide guidance on applying OFCCP regulations to fact-specific situations.1 While we wait for OFCCP to complete its planned Help Desk enhancements, the agency recently updated its website with an Opinion Letters link and issued its first Opinion Letter, dated May 20, 2019.
