Civil Rights/Affirmative Action
Overview
Notice
New guidelines under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and State of New Jersey Stimulus Initiatives require detailed reporting
of employment information. Companies doing business with the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) will be required to submit monthly
employment and wage data as a contractual obligation with the NJDOT.
This data will include, but will not be limited to, the number of existing and new employees, total wages expended, and specific Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) information for each contract.
In order to facilitate reporting and collection of this data, an automated web based application has been established. All companies doing business
with the NJDOT must be registered in New Jersey’s State portal as a means to access the employment reporting web based application. Individual
notifications will be sent shortly to those affected by this requirement, along with detailed instructions on how to establish a Portal Account.
Please read and follow the instructions for registering and activating your company’s unique authentication code. The following information will be
required in order to obtain an authentication code:
- Company Name
- Email Address for Company/Official or CEO
- Company’s Federal Identification Number
- Contact Person’s Name (this is the person who registered the account and will be logging on and supplying the requested employment
data)
- Contact Person’s email address
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) provides its employees, its contractors, the business community
and the public with equal employment opportunities, environmental justice, business development opportunities for the
disadvantaged and fair wage rate practices in a suitable work climate.
NJDOT is responsible for meeting these goals and complying with federal and state anti-discrimination and anti-harassment
policies and regulations.
Through its Title VI /Environmental Justice office,
NJDOT monitors the nondiscrimination policy with positive environmental effects in its projects.
Disadvantaged business owners (minorities and women) who want to bid on federal or state projects can benefit through the
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) office that channels
Emerging Small Business Enterprises (ESBE) and small business information for the
U.S. Department of Transportation. Applicants can access specific contact and application information,
forms, instructions and a checklist online.
The Contract Compliance office ensures that contractors will follow mandated federal and state Equal Employment
Opportunity provisions; the Wage Rate office ensures they will comply with federal and state wage rate laws, rules and
regulations.
NJDOT publications about Civil Rights/AA programs and policies are
available.
