Successor Government Contractor Hiring Obligations Change: DOL’s Long Awaited Nondisplacement Rule

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.
