The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is reinstating the Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-257), which requires businesses with a federal construction contract, subcontract, and/or federally assisted construction contract or subcontract in excess of $10,000 to provide information on employee work hours and employee counts by race/ethnicity, gender, and trade, raising concerns over data privacy.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is reinstating the Monthly Employment Utilization Report (CC-257). The CC-257 report requires businesses with a federal construction contract, subcontract, and/or federally assisted construction contract or subcontract in excess of $10,000 to provide information on employee work hours and employee counts by race/ethnicity, gender, and trade. AGC raised concerns over data privacy and undue burdens from the reinstatement of comprehensive monthly employment reports, which were discontinued since 1995.

Each report must cover a full calendar month and is due by the 15th of the following month. If this date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the report is due on the following business day. The first report will cover the calendar month of March 2025 and will be due by April 15, 2025.

AGC recently held a town hall on recent developments at the OFCCP and discussed this topic at length. Access recording of the town hall here.
