Individual Modules

Timekeeping for Government Contractors

Often the timekeeping requirements for government contractors are a source of frustration for employees, but they are a necessary evil for all companies doing business with the U.S. Government. In this course, we demystify the rules and requirements around timekeeping with an emphasis on explaining why timekeeping controls are not only necessary but essential for the protection of both the employees and the company.

DCAA Floorchecks: A Guide for Employees

The Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) utilizes labor floorcheck audits as part of their real-time testing of employee labor controls. The floorcheck process is often overwhelming for employees because interacting with government auditors is not a routine occurrence for personnel outside of a company’s accounting or compliance areas.

Preventing Harassment & Discrimination in the Workplace

This course provides an overview of equal employment opportunity law, “protected classes,” what “harassment” in the workplace means, additional responsibilities for supervisors, and how to facilitate a workplace free of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Contractor Code of Business Ethics & Conduct (COBEC)

This course provides an overview of government contractors’ ethics requirements, including identification of personal and organizational conflicts of interest and protection for whistleblowers. A licensed attorney provides narration with experience creating ethics awareness programs for government contractors and investigating potential ethical violations.

Drug-Free Workplace Training

This course provides an overview of the requirements of the Drug-free Workplace Act, including personal reporting obligations and the organization’s obligation to make reports to the contracting agency.

Anti-Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a multibillion-dollar criminal industry that uses force, fraud, or coercion to exploit vulnerable people with the intent of obtaining forced labor or services, including sex. The U.S. Government condemns these practices and requires those who do business with them to take action to prevent, report and remedy human trafficking in federal contracts. FAR Subpart 22.17 requires that clause 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons, be incorporated in all solicitations and contracts and that the substance of this clause shall be included in all subcontracts and all contracts with agents.

This course covers employee rights, necessary notifications, and documentation requirements to ensure they understand their protections and how to report any concerns related to government contracts and grants.
