February 23, 2009
FREDERICK, MD — Engineering Systems Solutions (ESS) announced today that the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has selected ESS as a recipient for the 2008 Good-Faith Initiative for Veterans Employment (G-FIVE) initiative; demonstrating “best practices” for the employment and advancement of veterans.
“The G-FIVE was created to address the employment challenges facing the veteran workforce today by recognizing Federal contractors for their efforts in employing and advancing covered veterans,” said Charles E. James Sr., Deputy Assistant Secretary for OFCCP. The G-FIVE “reaffirms OFCCP’s commitment to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act and creates an excellent incentive for Federal contractors to hire veterans.”
“The G-FIVE also strengthens partnerships between OFCCP and veterans groups and other agencies,” added Victoria Lipnic, Assistant Secretary, Employment Standards Administration. “It’s an OFCCP initiative that supports America’s Heroes.”
The directive outlining this new initiative, along with frequently asked questions, is available on OFCCP’s Website at Directive 282 and Directive 282 FAQs.
The OFCCP, an agency of the Department of Labor’s Employment Standards Administration, enforces Executive Order 11246 and other laws that prohibit employment discrimination by Federal contractors. The Agency monitors Federal contractors to ensure that they provide equal employment opportunities without regard to race, gender, color, religion, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
