The Office of Compliance (OOC) is an independent agency of the United States Congress that was created by the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA). The OOC is responsible for administering and enforcing the CAA, which applies certain labor, employment, and civil rights protections to the legislative branch of the federal government.
The OOC has several functions, including:
Providing assistance to covered employees, who are defined as employees of the House of Representatives, Senate, and certain other legislative branch agencies, who have experienced workplace discrimination, harassment, or other violations of the CAA.
Administering the complaint and dispute resolution process for covered employees, including mediating disputes, conducting investigations, and making findings and determinations.
Providing education and training to covered employees and employing offices on the provisions of the CAA and related laws and regulations.
Monitoring compliance with the CAA and related laws and regulations by employing offices and issuing reports to Congress on the implementation and enforcement of the CAA.
The OOC is led by a Chief Counsel, who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The OOC also has a Board of Directors, which is composed of members of Congress and representatives from covered employee organizations.
