Between 2016 and 2018 over 200 federal contractors have received violation notices from the labor department following audits. The notices cover a wide range of violations, the most extreme being discrimination allegations. Most of the violations received by firms were regarding record-keeping obligations. However, there were over 40 hiring discrimination allegations, as well as many pay discrimination allegations. The agency intends to continue conducting audits with 3,500 planned for 2019- this is nearly double the number of audits that occurred in 2019.
