Final Rule on Nondisplacement of Workers Performing Service Contracts
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 01.03.13
On December 21, 2012, the government issued a final rule that requires incoming contractors to offer qualified employees of the predecessor contractor and its subcontractors a right of first refusal of employment if the positions are covered by the Service Contract Act, unless a waiver is obtained or an exception applies. The rule, which is effective January 18, 2013, implements Executive Order 13495 and the Labor Department's regulations on Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts.

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.
