CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PLAN (EEOP) • A workforce report that some organizations must complete as a condition for receiving U. S. Department of Justice funding authorized by the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. • Intended to ensure recipients (and subrecipients) of federal funding are providing equal employment opportunities to men and women regardless of sex, race, or national origin. • U. S. Department of Justice regulations pertaining to the development of a comprehensive EEOP can be found at 28 C. F. R. § 42. 301 -42. 308. • The U. S. Department of Justice, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is the federal branch that collects, reviews, and approves EEOPs. • Effective in December 2016, the OCR developed an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Reporting Tool to streamline the EEO reporting process. The deployment of the EEO Reporting Tool, however, changed the reporting requirements for recipients of funding from the U. S. Department of Justice.
OCR’s EEO PLAN WEBPAGE https: //ojp. gov/about/ocr/eeop. htm NOTE: The link to the “EEO Reporting Tool Job Aid” will assist in the completion of the EEO requirements.
EEO REPORTING DETERMINATION For calculating the total number of employees, include part-time and full-time workers but exclude seasonal employees, political appointees, and elected officials.
EEO CERTIFICATION FORM • The Certification Form’s purpose is to identify the EEO reporting requirement (or lack thereof) of recipients of funding from the U. S. Department of Justice. • Recipients exempt from the EEO reporting requirements must claim such exemption. – Effective with the EEO Reporting Tool, a “Certification of Exemption” form will populate and be submitted to OCR. The Form must be submitted each calendar year for which DOJ funding is received (and be updated in the event a new award is received within the same calendar year that changes the status to no longer being exempt from the EEO reporting requirement). • Recipients required to prepare an EEO Plan must acknowledge such requirement. – Effective with the EEO Reporting Tool, a “Notice of Acknowledgement of Requirement” form will populate and be submitted to OCR. The Form must be submitted each calendar year for which DOJ funding is received. • Should be prepared for the recipient of the federal funding (i. e. county, city, or state department).
EEO CERTIFICATION FORM cont’d SAM PLE • Populates the form based on the type of agency, number of employees, & single largest DOJ award • Submitted electronically through the EEO Reporting Tool
EEO UTILIZATION REPORT • OCR developed the EEO Utilization Report to help recipients of funding from the U. S. Department of Justice comply with the EEOP regulations. • Instead of requiring recipients to report all of the employment data that federal regulations require them to keep (see 28 C. F. R. § 42. 301 -42. 308), OCR uses the EEO Utilization Report to prompt recipients to collect and analyze key employment data, organized by race, national origin, and sex. • Effective for a 2 -year period, commencing with the date of approval of the EEO Utilization Report from the OCR. – During previous years, written approval seemed to only be received by larger metropolitan organizations (i. e. larger award dollars triggered thorough review). – If written approval is not received, the EEO Utilization Report is effective for a 2 year period from the date of submission of the EEO Utilization Report. • Should be prepared for the recipient of the federal funding (i. e. county, city, or state department). Not the same as an EEO 4, which is required by the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

NON-DISCRIMINATION • Subrecipient may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in its employment practices or in the delivery of services • If the subrecipient has 50 or more employees and receives OJP, OVW, or COPS funding of $25, 000 or more: – the subrecipient must have written policies or procedures in place to notify program participants and employees on how to file complaints alleging discrimination – the subrecipient must designate a person(s) to coordinate complaints alleging discrimination
