Are we required to maintain ESDS postings for a period of two years? If that is the case, is it 2 calendar years or two plan years?

Roselle Rogers Vice President, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Circa Answered on May 28, 2021Per VEVRAA regulations, any records pertaining to outreach should be kept for a period of 3 years. While postings to the Employment Service Delivery System (ESDS) are for compliance with the mandatory job listing requirement, the requirement is there for the purpose of recruiting and requesting priority referral of protected veterans to your open jobs. Every ESDS or state job bank has a Local Veteran Employment Representative (LVER) and a Disabled Outreach Program Specialist (DVOP) who are actively watching out for Federal Contractor job listings to match with the veterans in their caseload who are looking for employment.
You can use this OFCCP audit checklist to ensure you're doing what is required to maintain OFCCP's regulations including VEVRAA, Section 503, and EO 11246. Or request a demo to streamline your compliance and recruiting efforts.
