This week, we discuss the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) plan to eliminate the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and the DOL’s new opinion letter program.

DOL Restructures: OFCCP on the Chopping Block as Opinion Letters Expand

On May 30, 2025, the DOL moved to eliminate the OFCCP, shifting key enforcement duties to other agencies. At the same time, the DOL has launched a new opinion letter program, expanding access beyond the Wage and Hour Division.

Employers must navigate these changes while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws. Epstein Becker Green attorneys Kim Carter and Paul DeCamp provide their insights into these shifts and their likely future impact on employers.
