| What is an AAP? |
AAP stands for an Affirmative Action Plan. An affirmative action plan is a set of
specific and results-oriented procedures to which a contractor commits itself to
apply every good faith. The object of such effort is equal employment opportunity.
Procedures without efforts to make them work are meaningless and effort undirected
by specific procedures is inadequate.
|
| Who needs to have an Affirmative Action Plan? |
A prime or sub contractor with 50 or more employees and $50,000.00 or more in
contracts must have a written affirmative action plan for each of its establishments.

"Who is Required" page or contact us
for more information.
|
| What does the AAP do for the employer? |
An AAP analyzes and evaluates all employment actions, including compensation, to determine
the EEO compliance status of an employer. When problems are identified the AAP sets up appropriate
corrective actions. An appropriately administered AAP is a powerful defense against complaints against
discrimination.
|
| Who Audits Affirmative Action Plans? |
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance programs, Employment Standards Administration, and The
U. S. Department of Labor audit AAPs. Other federal agencies could do so as well as state and
city governments can require contractors doing business with them to have an AAP.
|
| What do I do in the event of and Audit? |
Don't worry! RPL attends and participates in all audits of facilities using our AAPs.
As soon as you find out that your facility is under Audit, give us a call. We will begin preparations for
the audit and when the time comes we will walk you through it step by step.
|
| What do I do with the AAP when it is completed and sent to me? |
It is not uncommon for managers
to wonder, "Okay, I have an AAP, now what do I do
with it?" Have no fear. Along with the preparation
of your company's Affirmative Action Plan, upon request,
we will provide an hour of training for management on
how affirmative action functions and a discussion of
the manager�s obligations to implement the plan. During
this training period you will also have the opportunity
to ask any questions you may have concerning the Affirmative
Action Plan.
|
| Will
my managers have problems reviewing AAPs for all facilities in my company? |
When companies have several facilities requiring the
development of individual AAPs, we develop a format that is common to all the AAPs while
retaining the individuality of each facility. This allows managers to move between facilities
and still be familiar with the structure and of contents of a facility's AAP.
|
| How do I send my AAP data? |
We provide data forms to assist you in gathering and preparing the correct data to be used in your Affirmative Action Plan.
Once you have all the information gathered and ready to send, you can send your AAP data to rpl@rplmri.com.
Explanations and Downloads of the data forms can be accessed at our Forms page.
