All WebEd times are in EST
Description:
Virtually all construction contractors that perform work for the federal government are required to provide paid time off to employees for sickness and other covered purposes under a new rule issued by the U.S. Department of Labor that takes effect on January 1, 2017. This AGC WebEd will explain the rule’s various mandates to help ensure that your company maintains compliance and avoids costly sanctions.
Questions answered during the program will include:
• What types of contracts are covered?
• Which employees are covered?
• How much time off are employees entitled to and how is it accrued?
• Does accrued leave carry over from year to year?
• For what reasons is an employee entitled to paid leave?
• What are the notice and recordkeeping requirements?
• Can a PTO policy suffice?
• How does the rule interact with state and local paid sick leave laws?
• How does the rule interact with collective bargaining agreements?
• Does the sick pay count toward Davis-Bacon prevailing wage obligations?
• What are the flow-down responsibilities?
