The SCA’s wage and benefit payment requirements apply to many federal service contracts. Although many of the compliance requirements of the SCA have remained unchanged, it has been impacted by a number of other laws and initiatives. Moreover, increased enforcement prerogatives have made SCA compliance paramount. Companies with SCA contracts must think broadly and strategically to consider all facets of operations, financial, legal, and HR requirements to ensure they are fully complying with evolving regulations and requirements. This program will provide an overview of the Act’s requirements and identify the recent trends and “traps” for federal government contractors.
After attending this session, participants will:
- Understand the basics of SCA compliance.
- Know the most important developments in the SCA world.
- Understand the interplay between SCA and Affordable Care Act.
- Understand the impact of the Successor Contractor Rule on SCA contracts.
- Be familiar with the most common SCA violations and the consequences of them.
- Identify the tools available to contractors for complying with the complexities of the Act.

Connie concentrates her practice on labor and employment, executive, whistleblower, government contractor and employee mobility counseling and litigation. She is frequently tapped to conduct confidential internal investigations involving executive-level employees, including claims of discrimination, harassment and code of conduct violations. She counsels on, investigates and litigates restrictive covenant and trade secret disputes between employers and former employees. Connie has defended complex employment, whistleblower and restrictive covenant litigation across the United States, including numerous disputes, discrimination and harassment claims involving executive-level employees, as well as claims brought under Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Fair Housing Act, Family Medical Leave Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, the False Claims Act and other federal and state employment and whistleblower provisions.
Connie advises federal government contractors and subcontractors on the many unique employment, affirmative action and other compliance issues that arise in the government contracts context, including: developing and implementing conflict of interest, ethics, and whistleblower policies and programs; investigating and defending False Claims Act and other whistleblower complaints; conducting internal audits and investigations; and advising contractors and subcontractors with respect to all aspects of Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), Service Contract Act (SCA), and Davis-Bacon Act compliance and defending OFCCP and Department of Labor audits and enforcement proceedings.
