Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 04.07.17
The Continuing Resolution funding government operations will expire on April 28, 2017. Absent a budget agreement or a new CR, certain government operations will cease. While Congress is working on the budget, contractors wishing to plan for the end of the CR and a potential shutdown might consider: (1) maintaining open lines of communication with their customers; (2) cataloguing contracts by funding source, performance period, option exercise dates to assess impact on their businesses, while paying attention to changes clauses for opportunities for mitigation; (3) preparing for human resources impacts on staff; and, (4) reviewing subcontracts to understand rights and obligations on both sides.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed another revision to independent contractor regulations, one that would provide for more leeway in classifying workers as contractors. DOL’s proposed rule, published on February 26, 2026, would rescind the Biden DOL’s March 2024 independent contractor regulation and reinstate a framework substantially tracking the prior Trump rule of January 2021. The proposed rule would also apply the narrower analysis to worker classifications under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA). The comment period closes in late April 2026; until then, the 2024 rule remains in effect for purposes of private litigation.
