The U.S. Department of Labor has launched a new website that publishes enforcement statistics, including compliance review and complaint investigations. According to the department, the website
Agencies whose data are provided on this site include the Employee Benefits Security Administration, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), and the Wage and Hour Administration.
For the OFCCP, the DOL's "Enforcement data 1.0" allows one to search the state, industry code or zip code where the enforcement activity took place. By entering the state in the search fields, one sees the name of the contractor's establishment, the location by city, state and zip code, total employees, number of minority and women workers, the date when the evaluation or investigation was closed and the nature of the closure including hiring, terminations, promotions, salary and accommodations.
This is a major advance in the public availability of contractor and employer establishment data. Contractors are advised to become familiar with this database and to do internal audits to avoid such public exposure. These data will also increase public scrutiny of the agency's enforcement efforts by the contractor community, civil rights organizations and the media.
