Last updated: May 2019 Under the new EEO-1 requirements, employers with more than 100 employees (both private industry and Federal contractor) are required to report salaries by gender, race and ethnicity. By contrast, contractors that are subject to the EEO-1 reporting requirement and that have between 50 and 99 employees, will continue to submit the same information that is collected by the current EEO-1 report.

"I Think I Have a Problem! What is the Best Approach to Conducting an Employee Investigation?"

Are you are on the job market and need to find a new job? Maybe you have recently been let go, a contract ended, or you are ready to move onto bigger and better things. One of the first things that you may do is to update your resume. Consider your resume as your ticket to your next interview. Before you get that request for an interview, though, your resume is likely going to go through the hands of a recruiter. Most recruiters will tell you that they spend about 15 to 30 seconds reviewing a resume. This means you really need to make sure that your resume is well-organized and easy to read. As a recruiter, if I find myself spending too much time trying to decipher a resume, I will probably just move on to the next resume.

A question I have been asked by business owners and executives of rapidly growing contractors is, “who do you turn to when you need to respond quickly to a proposal?” What are the options available to GovCons who need support in recruiting for proposals? Proposal recruiting has a unique set of challenges. There are direct costs associated with responding to an RFP and if done properly the payoff for an organization can be high.

Recently, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Regional Director ruled that an employer failed to comply with a requirement to provide available employee contact information to the union prior to an election, thereby resulting in an order to hold a second election (Danbury Hospital, 01-RC-153086). Although the ruling in such a pro-union political climate was not entirely unexpected, the result is still a cause of concern for employers, in part because of the “quickie” election rule implemented this past April.
