The Employment Standards Administration is being eliminated from the Department of Labor. The OFCCP will be elevated. The newly appointed head of the OFCCP is Patricia Shiu. Because of the reorganization, Shiu may have to go before Senate confirmation hearings. In the meantime, employers can expect a more aggressive OFCCP under Shiu’s leadership. Shiu, according to the SHRM News Release, has zealously advocated for women’s rights in the workplace and helped draft legislation that led to the enactment of the California Paid Family Leave Act.
