Employee Issues
Your most important assets are your employees. Our services will help you address your labor and employment issues. We will help you to anticipate and avoid non-compliance with labor and employment clauses in your contract that may lead to claims and possibly termination for default. Did you know that employment discrimination issues are the biggest cause for litigation in our federal courts? The best defense is being proactive! This means having an effective written policy, communicating it, enforcing it, and being serious about it.
We can help you be proactive with:
- Employment and non-compete agreements
- Compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Affirmative Action Program (AAP)
- Compliance with Service Contract Act (SCA), Davis-Bacon Act (DBA), and Walsh-Healy Act.
Compliance
Most major companies have compliance policies to foster strict adherence to contractual terms and conditions, and with all Governmental laws and regulations. These policies provide guidance to employees on acceptable behavior and for performing and enforcing contracts. If an illegal event occurs, an effective compliance policy will serve as a basis for penalties to be reduced.
We will help you by:
- Preparing the Company Policy and Procedure Manual
- Preparing a Code of Conduct
- Training your employees
Contract Claims & Equitable Adjustments
Despite your best efforts to administer and manage a contract, delays, disruption, interference, and other changes may occur, either expressly or "constructively". You may be entitled to recover direct and indirect costs. We will help to prepare the claim or request for equitable adjustment.
Procurement
When you need to obtain supplies and services from vendors or suppliers and subcontractors, we can help you by preparing the needs analysis, creating the Statement of Work or Specifications, preparing the Request for Proposal or Quote, evaluating the proposals, and recommending an award. We can help you prepare and issue a subcontract under a prime contract, and negotiate the deal on your behalf.
We can help you:
- Prepare, submit and negotiate purchase orders and subcontracts for you.
- Prepare for a Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR)
