Friday afternoon dump- so, it appears that the Obama admin. wants to subsidize contractors for losses due to penalty's incurred for putting off the lay off notices which by law they are required to submit and forward to employee.
Sounds kind of hokey to me.
The White House moved to prevent defense and other government contractors from issuing mass layoff notices in anticipation of sequestration, even going so far to say that the contracting agencies would cover any potential litigation costs or employee compensation costs that could follow.
snip-
So the Office of Management and Budget went a step further in guidance issued late Friday afternoon. If an agency terminates or modifies a contract, and the contractor must close a plant or lay off workers en masse, the company could treat employee compensation costs for WARN Act liability, attorneys fees and other litigation costs as allowable costs to be covered by the contracting agencyso long as the contractor has followed a course of action consistent with the Labor Departments guidance. The legal fees would be covered regardless of the outcome of the litigation, according to the OMB guidance issued by Daniel Werfel, controller of the Office of Federal Financial Management, and Joseph Jordan, the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy.
