Labor & Employment

Labor and employment issues in government contracting carry obligations and risks that general employment counsel may not be positioned to address. The Service Contract Act, Davis-Bacon Act, Executive Order minimum wage and paid leave requirements, and VEVRAA and Section 503 affirmative action obligations create a compliance framework that is specific to the federal contractor workforce.

Berry & Partners advises government contractors on prevailing wage compliance under the Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act, including wage determination review, fringe benefit compliance, and DOL investigation response. We also counsel clients on OFCCP compliance obligations, affirmative action program development, and audit defense.

Beyond the regulatory requirements specific to government contractors, we advise on executive employment agreements, restrictive covenants, reductions in force, and the full range of day-to-day employment matters that arise in contractor organizations — always with an awareness of how employment decisions can affect contract performance obligations and government customer relationships.
