16 Pa. Code § 49.51 - Purpose
(a) An affirmative
action program is a set of specific and result oriented procedures to which a
contractor shall apply every good faith effort. The objective of those
procedures and efforts is to assure equal employment opportunity. An acceptable
affirmative action program shall include an analysis of areas within which the
contractor may be discriminating, unintentionally or otherwise, against
minority groups and women; and further goals and timetables to which the good
faith efforts of the contractor shall be directed to correct the deficiencies
and, thus to eliminate all discrimination against minority groups and women at
all levels and in all segments of its work force. A necessary prerequisite to
the development of a satisfactory affirmative action program is the
identification and analysis of problem areas of minority group (including
women) employment, and an evaluation of opportunities for utilization of
minority groups and women personnel.
(b) Not all State contractors are required to
submit an affirmative action program. Affirmative action programs not
voluntarily agreed to through conciliation and persuasion can be imposed by
order only on those State contractors found deficient under §
49.37 (relating to notifying
contractor) and who are so adjudicated after a hearing in accordance with
§
49.62 (relating to notice of
noncompliance).
