Guest jreddi Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Just got word from my VP/HR that we may need to do an AAP (Affirmative Action Plan) since we may be a govt contractor in the near future. I have done one in the past, about ten years ago, without software and it was a nightmare. Now, I am looking for recommendations for the best (and also read: cheapest) software out there to help with all aspects of the plan so I don't have to figure out cab fare to the halfway point of the Golden Gate Bridge. Any help or suggestions? Please?
david rigby Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 A search of BenefitsLink for "affirmative action plan" probably will not produce any prior help. Ditto for a search of the Message Boards. However, a similar search using Google or other search engine will probably be helpful. Just don't expect it to be free. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
GBurns Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I have seen many Goverment entities that provide the guidelines and content etc that they require in AAP from their contractors, however, I have never seen any Software or mention of software. What would the software do for you? Also AAP requirements are different for many entities as caused by legal or statutory requirements and by specific local conditions, as a result I would be wary of any "boilerplates". I think that you should first find out the specific requirements of that specific Govt Agency and go by their guidance. I am also curious as to what "cab fare" or other such items have to do with AAP? George D.

mbozek Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I have never seen any software program for AAP. Each plan needs to be individually crafted to meet the particular requirements of the law for the employer. Employers usually retain outside counsel to prepare AAPs to avoid errors in submitting the programs. mjb
imchipbrown Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 G Burns, I think the reference to cab fare went over your head. If you take a cab half way over the Golden Gate Bridge, you're jumping!
GBurns Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Chip, Just before I read your post, someone suggested that I seemed to lose my sense of humor most hours of the day. I guess although you do not know me, you came to about the same conclusion. I really never saw the irony. George D.
