DCAA Issues Guidance On Revised Travel Cost Rule
Client Alert | 1 min read | 04.12.10
In response to the recent revision to the travel cost rule at FAR 31.205-46(b) and (c), which now limits allowable airfare costs to the lowest airfare available to the contractor, DCAA issued guidance on March 22, 2010, that identifies the "lowest airfare available" as that available to the contractor through direct negotiation with airlines or travel agents. The guidance advises that contractors' policies and procedures should provide for (a) documented, advance planning of travel that considers nonrefundable airfares and lower airfares negotiated with airlines, travel service providers, and credit card companies and (b) obtaining quotations from competing airlines or travel service providers.

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.
