Alissa has prepared and defended hundreds of OFCCP desk audit submissions and has significant on-site defense experience preparing and defending managers in interviews and in preparing employees for interviews.

Alissa also prepares adverse impact analyses associated with reductions-in-force, conducts privileged compensation analyses, and provides guidance regarding outreach to women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans. Additionally, she advises employers on the preparation of EEO-1s and VETS-4212 forms (formerly VETS-100A forms), as well as the overlap between affirmative action and diversity.
