DoD's Guerilla War on IR&D
Client Alert | 1 min read | 02.10.16
In a notice published in the Federal Register on February 8 that will almost certainly be unpopular with contractors and their customers, DoD asked for comments on its consideration of adding a requirement to the DFARS that would "require offerors to describe in detail the nature and value of prospective IR&D projects on which the offeror would rely to perform the resultant contract." As described in the notice, that information would be used by DoD to "evaluate proposals in a manner that would take into account that reliance by adjusting the total evaluated price to the Government, for evaluation purposes only, to include the value of related future IR&D projects," presumably by increasing the evaluated price of that offeror's proposal to include the full value of the IR&D project.

New Jersey Expands FLA Protections Effective July 2026: What Employers Need to Know
The New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) entitles eligible employees to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per 24-month period for bonding with a new child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or responding to certain public health emergencies. The law covers employers with 30 or more employees worldwide, and employees must have at least one year on the job and 1,000 hours worked in the preceding 12 months to qualify. Unlike the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the NJFLA does not cover an employee’s own serious health condition, but instead pairs with New Jersey’s Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) and Family Leave Insurance (FLI) programs, which provide partial wage replacement — funded through employee payroll contributions — when employees are out on qualifying leave.
