 The U. S. Department of Labor is sponsoring a series of free seminars on updated labor laws for employers in July 2008.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the U.S. Department of Labor provides training to federal supply and service contractors and subcontractors. Topics covered include the agency’s equal employment opportunity laws and regulations. Federal contractors are subject to more stringent anti-discrimination regulations than other employers. In many cases, those regulations apply to all divisions of a company, not just those holding federal contracts. Most of the seminars are scheduled for a half day.

The Department of Labor takes a proactive approach in training employers, especially those with new federal contracts, in the requirements they face under the law.
