This webinar is brought to you by the Labor and Employment Practice Group, and is co-sponsored by Hospitals and Health Systems and In-House Counsel Practice Groups
After a series of cases chipping away at the healthcare industry, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is claiming victory after the administrative law judge's decision in OFCCP v. Florida Hospital holding that the hospital, a TRICARE provider, was a government contractor and subject to Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. OFCCP expects TRICARE providers to be in compliance with the federal contractor regulations even though Florida Hospital is still on appeal. What can you do to prepare for an OFCCP compliance review notice? During this webinar, you will learn the first steps in establishing an affirmative action plan, including practical advice that will help you assess your current systems and infrastructure in order to gather the information you will need in place to satisfy the legal requirements of the federal contractor regulations. In addition, you will hear about OFCCP's evolving audit and compliance review procedures as they relate to healthcare providers and what to do (and not to do) when the OFCCP comes knocking on your door.
