Late last year, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) announced it was reinstating the Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-257). Employers with a federal construction contract or subcontract, or a federally assisted construction contract or subcontract in excess of $10,000 must complete Form CC-257 and submit monthly. The first report will cover March 2025 and is due April 15, 2025.
The Form CC-257 covers the full calendar month and is due by the 15th day of the following month. The Form CC-257 seeks the following Company Profile information:
- Federal Contractor or Subcontractor Information.
- All Federal Funding Agencies.
- The Reporting Period: The employee counts and work hours for each calendar month. The employee counts provided must reflect the employee count on the last day of the month.
- The Certifying Company’s Official Contact Information and Signature: The name, title, phone number, email address, signature, date, and certification of the information’s accuracy must be provided by the company official submitting the report.
- Number of Covered Areas with Projects During the Reporting Period: The number of geographic areas in which the (sub)contractor has projects during the reporting period.
The Form CC-257 seeks the following information reported by each covered area:
- Project Type: Whether the company performed work on a project designated by OFCCP as a Megaproject through its Mega Construction Project Program.
- Type of Entity: Whether the contractor is a prime contractor, subcontractor, or both.
- Total Employee Count: The total number of trade employees in each trade, by race, gender, and classification (e.g., foreperson, journey workers, apprentices, trainees, and non-apprenticed laborers or helpers) at the end of the reporting period.
- Total Work Hours: The total construction work hours performed for each trade by race, gender, and classification (e.g., foreperson, journey workers, apprentices, trainees, and non-apprenticed laborers or helpers) for the entire reporting period.
