Who is required to submit an AA plan under DOP guidelines?
For agencies and higher education institutions that have federal affirmative action reporting obligations, the employer must submit an affirmative action plan on a two-year cycle as set by the Department of Personnel (DOP).
If the agency or higher education (HE) institution does not have federal affirmative action reporting obligations, the reporting requirements depend upon the size:
- State agencies/HE institutions with 25-49 full-time equivalent (FTE’s) (or headcount) employees must submit a small agency/institution workforce profile annually.
- State agencies/HE institutions with 50 or more FTE’s (or headcount) employees must submit an affirmative action plan on a four-year cycle as set by DOP with an update to the affirmative action plan two years into the cycle.
