Employers

Individuals with disabilities can be a valuable source of employees for your business. They often bring a fresh and unique perspective that enhances diversity in your workforce.

Rule 503 sets a goal for the number of individuals with disabilities in the workforce of federal contractors at 7%. This goal is intended as a guideline that incents a more diverse hiring pool and creates employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Failing to meet this goal is not a violation of the regulation. However, compliance is likely to improve a contractor’s positioning for a bid.  Read more about Rule 503.
