NILG 2023 National Conference

Morrison Foerster partner Andrew Turnbull and associate Sadé Tidwell of the Employment + Labor Group will be speaking at the National Industry Liaison Group (NILG) 2023 National Conference.

On Wednesday, August 2, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., Andrew Turnbull and Sadé Tidwell will host the “Practical Tips for Navigating OFCCP Audit Requests” workshop. With new OFCCP directives signaling less transparency and more aggressive audits, contractors need to understand how to appropriately respond to OFCCP’s requests for information (RFIs). Failure to do so can result in longer, more expensive audits and potential unnecessary adverse findings or enforcement proceedings. Attendees will learn about:

• the legal authority and limitations for OFCCP RFIs;
• common OFCCP RFIs; and
• practical tips for mitigating risk and burden when responding to RFIs.

On Thursday, August 3, from 3:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Andrew Turnbull and Sadé Tidwell will host the “Ringfencing – Shielding Non-Contractor Corporate Affiliates from OFCCP Coverage” workshop. Many companies seek business with the federal government but want to avoid OFCCP jurisdiction over their corporate affiliates. With OFCCP now getting details about corporate families through the Contractor Portal, contractors need good ringfencing to avoid OFCCP seeking coverage of their non-contractor corporate affiliates. Attendees will learn about:

• the legal framework for single entity and subcontractor status;
• common ways corporate affiliates become covered; and
• practical tips for establishing strong ringfencing to avoid coverage.
