Do you sell services to federal agencies? Laws and regulations of the Department of Labor (DOL) can impact who you hire, how much you pay them, your contract price and reporting obligations to the federal government. The Coalition for Government Procurement invites you to attend a training session that will provide the latest compliance information, insights and best practices to support your success in the federal market. With a new FAR rule and DOL guidance on the President’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order imminent, it is an opportune time to assess your company’s current labor compliance and future liabilities in terms of the Services Contract Act, Davis Bacon Act, Equal Employment Opportunities and other matters under the purview of DOL.

Topics:

• The Service Contract Act
• Contract requirements and disputes
• Wage determinations
• Compliance in the MAS contract context
• The Davis Bacon Act
• General Labor Compliances (Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Plans)
• The latest in new and proposed regulations, including Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces (EO 13673), Paid Sick Leave For Federal Contractors (EO 13706) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• The Mandatory Disclosure Rule in the context of labor compliance requirements
