Nora assists federal contractors with their diversity and pay equity obligations.

Nora examines contractors’ employment data, including datasets from companies with nationwide workforces of more than 150,000 individuals, performing advanced statistical work such as disparate impact analyses and regression modeling to advise clients and ensure compliance. She analyzes areas such as employer hiring decisions, applicant pools, promotions, terminations, and overall workforce data compared to Census demographics. She also examines compensation across demographics to ensure compliance with equal pay laws, including the OFCCP’s Compensation Directive 2018-05, Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has temporarily stayed a nationwide injunction, allowing the federal government to enforce provisions of Executive Orders 14173 and 14151, which restrict certain DEI activities, while the appeal proceeds. Businesses with federal contracts or grants should review their DEI policies to ensure compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws
