Co-Chair of Affirmative Action and OFCCP Practice Group Alissa A. Horvitz Testifies Before the U.S. House of Representatives

Shareholder Alissa Horvitz recently appeared on Capitol Hill before the Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions on the topic, “Reviewing the Impact of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) Regulatory and Enforcement Actions.” Horvitz testified at this hearing on the disproportionate burden imposed on companies doing business with the government at very low dollar thresholds, and how vendors and suppliers can become subject to OFCCP’s audit jurisdiction, without ever having agreed to contract with the government, simply by virtue of being a supplier that provides a good or service necessary for the performance of a direct government contract. Her testimony also attempted to raise concern with how OFCCP has not been transparent with the contractor community insofar as how it evaluates compensation during compliance reviews or in OFCCP’s decision not to publish on its website important directives that would otherwise provide the contractor community with information about compliance.
