ASA has published a new issue paper that discusses the recently issued government rules that, with limited exceptions, require employees working “on or in connection with” a federal contract to be vaccinated, wear masks, and maintain physical distance. The paper covers the key provisions and effective dates, and addresses several scenarios staffing agencies likely will face and when the rules are likely to apply. The authors are federal contract experts with the Washington, DC, law firm of Miller & Chevalier, which represents ASA on tax and other complex federal regulatory matters.
