AAIMPlans – Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs)

 
For federal contractors and subcontractors, compliance with complex and ever-changing affirmative action regulations can prove challenging, while non-compliance can prove costly. Organizations selected for Compliance Evaluations by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have only 30 days to submit their current AAPs and supporting documentation, including a report on prior year goals and progress achieved. Typical programs are several hundred pages long and must include statistical analyses and narratives that comply with OFCCP regulations.
For the Human Resources staff that is short on time, resources, or recent experience with Affirmative Action Program development, AAIM EA can simplify the burden. Do not expose your organization to the risk of non-compliance; comprehensive Affirmative Action Services are available through AAIMPlans.
 
With more than 20 years of experience in developing AAPs, AAIMPlans is your solution.  Our consulting staff develops over 120 custom AAPs per year.  We incorporate the ever changing requirements to assist you through any Compliance Review.  We are proud to say that none of our AAPs have received any technical violations during any review process.
