Labor & Employment Update for Government Contractors

Описание: What Happened in (Government) FY 2025 and What to Be Prepared for in FY 2026

Government contractors are often subject to specific labor and employment requirements, and changes to those requirements can significantly impact contractors’ HR activities and their ability to secure government contracts. Government FY 2025 (which ended September 30) brought numerous changes. This CLE program will provide an overview of many of them, including:

Executive Order 14173 (Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity), the revocation of Executive Order 11246 (which previously required affirmative action programs), and updates from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
The $15 contractor minimum wage
Revisions to the Davis-Bacon Act
The FAR rewrite (focused on labor and employment provisions)
Project labor agreements
Bid protests that involved and impacted labor and employment activities
The presentation will highlight current challenges, emerging trends, and best practices for staying compliant and mitigating risk. It will conclude with a discussion of what to expect for the remainder of FY 2026, helping attendees prepare for what lies ahead.

TC partner Jayna Marie Rust will lead this one-hour session, designed for legal, HR, and compliance professionals working with government contracts.
