Given EEAC's concentrated focus on OFCCP compliance-related
issues, we sometimes receive calls from member company representatives
asking if we can recommend an outside AAP consultant. Our
callers often are surprised to learn that many of EEAC's own
staff experts are available on a fee basis to perform direct
consulting services to assist a company with affirmative action
program compliance, including AAP outsourcing, compensation
analysis, and internal self-audits. Services pertaining to
diversity measurement, including diversity metrics, also can
be provided. Although EEAC itself, as a nonprofit corporation,
cannot give consulting advice to a member on a company-specific
compliance matter, the experts who staff EEAC can be retained
through a separate entity created in 1990 to serve that purpose.
Employment Advisory Services, Inc. (EASI) is a consulting
firm formed specifically to permit a company to retain an
EEAC expert or team of experts to perform direct consulting
services. The customized compliance and diversity services
available through EASI are tailored to meet each client's
specific needs while remaining compliant with all applicable
government requirements.
There is no direct connection between EEAC and EASI other
than the overlap in personnel. EASI's consultants are retained
on a fee basis directly by the client company, and EEAC does
not provide any financial support to EASI. In addition, membership
in EEAC neither obligates nor entitles a member company to
use EASI's consultants. Rather, EASI simply is there as an
option when a company is interested in retaining one of our
talented experts to assist with AAP compliance-related matters.
