Service Contract Act (SCA)
Simplifying Labor Standards for Federal Contractors
Compliance with the Service Contract Act (SCA) is essential for businesses providing services under federal contracts. At Barclay Group LLC, we specialize in ensuring your business adheres to SCA requirements, safeguarding your contracts and avoiding costly penalties.
What Is the Service Contract Act?
The SCA, officially known as the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act, establishes labor standards for federal service contracts exceeding $2,500. It requires contractors to pay service employees prevailing wages and benefits as determined by the Department of Labor. Compliance with the SCA ensures fair treatment for workers while maintaining the integrity of government contracting.
