The primary purpose of Executive Order 11246 is to ensure that federal contractors and subcontractors provide equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The order requires affirmative action to eliminate discrimination and promote workforce diversity in federal contracting.
Key Provisions:
Non-discrimination Requirements: Employers cannot engage in discriminatory hiring, promotions, pay, or termination practices.
Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs): Contractors meeting certain criteria must actively develop and implement affirmative action programs to ensure diverse hiring and workplace equity.
Reporting & Compliance: Employers must document workforce demographics, submit reports, and undergo compliance reviews conducted by the OFCCP.
This order reinforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but specifically applies to businesses that contract with the federal government, ensuring that taxpayer-funded jobs promote fairness and inclusion.
