If you are an employer who has a federal contract or subcontract
of $10,000 or more, you have an obligation, under Section 503 of the
Rehabilitation Act, to take affirmative action to recruit, employ, and advance
people with disabilities. You are also obligated, under the Vietnam Era
Veterans Readjustment Act, to take affirmative action in employing disabled and
Vietnam Era veterans.
If you have a contract or subcontract of $50,000 or more and
employ 50 or more persons, you have an obligation to develop and maintain a
written affirmative action program, and to disseminate that program inside and
outside your organization, in accordance with regulations of the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the U.S. Department of Labor. Employers
with a contract or subcontract of $50,000 or more who employ 50 or more
employees also are required, by Executive Order 11246, to have a written
affirmative action plan for the employment and advancement of minorities and
women. Some employers who are federal contractors combine their affirmative
action plan under all of these statutes.
