Course Overview:

This course is designed to serve as an introduction to the Service Contract Act. It is focused on those who perform services for the Government with regard to the applicable labor requirements to include wage rates, fringe benefits, health plans and overtime. It will discuss how these are applied and when they are applied. This course recognizes the need to appropriately weave the requirements of the SCA into our contracts. There is also a portion of the course which focuses on the ramifications of not properly addressing the SCA, such as debarment and other penalties. Finally, the course discusses the need to understand the SCA in the context of the many other federal, state and local laws that impact the business of Government contracting.

The course will be presented by an experienced instructor with recent real world experience. ( See attachments 1 and 2 for a description of the quality of our instructors.)
