On December 14, 2023, the Department of Labor published a Final Rule implementing Executive Order 14055, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts, effective February 12, 2024. The rule establishes that when a service contract with the government expires and a follow-on contract is awarded, the successor contractor or subcontractor hires or offers the right of first refusal to the predecessor’s employees, preventing disruptions in federal services. The Final Rule contains a number of changing obligations for both the incumbent and successor contractors.

In this critical webinar for government contractors, Nichole Atallah and Sarah Nash—partners from PilieroMazza’s Labor & Employment Group—delve into these significant regulatory changes and the implications for both prime and subcontractors serving government agencies in sectors like administrative professional, security, janitorial, and cafeteria services.

Learning objectives include:

• key aspects of the Final Rule;
• differences between this rule and former iterations;
• how it modifies existing practices; and
• steps necessary for compliance.
