How long do employers have to keep affirmative action plans?

Employers are generally required to retain affirmative action plans for at least two years after the plan expires or is updated. This requirement is part of the regulations enforced by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) and Executive Order 11246. Additionally, if an employer is involved in a complaint or audit, they may need to keep these documents longer.
