What Government Contractors Need to Do to Comply with New Employment Policies and Regulations



The last two years brought about a slew of changes to employment-related requirements for government contractors. These changes mean more compliance concerns for you, the potential for Department of Labor audits, and the need to update your employment policies, employee notices and job postings, contract language, and more.

 

In this seminar, we'll break down the major changes and help you understand what you need to do to comply with the new rules that rolled out in 2015 and 2016. We'll cover the Service Contract Act (SCA), Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order, changes to overtime rules, employee vs. independent contractor issues, and more.

 

Now is the perfect time for government contractors to scrutinize their employment policies and procedures. The number of DOL audits is expected to increase. Government contractors who fail to comply with employment rules are at risk of financial penalties and suspension of federal contracts.

What You'll Learn

  • The key areas of your employee handbook that need to be updated because of the new rules
  • What needs to be updated in your non-compete and confidentiality agreements
  • How to conduct a self-audit to make sure your employment practices are clean and ready for a potential DOL visit
  • Actions that have been taken by the DOL against government contractors
  • How to reduce the risk of future employment law violations
