An affirmative action plan (AAP) is required for companies that meet certain thresholds, such as having 50 or more employees, receiving $50,000 or more in government contracts, or acting as a depository for government funds. An AAP should not only ensure a company's compliance with regulations, but should also be used as a management tool to identify and remove any barriers that prevent women and minorities from being employed.
