Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?
Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.

OSHA Publishes Emergency Temporary Standard on Covid-19 Vaccine and Testing
The U.S. Occupational and Safety and Health Administration has issued its Emergency Temporary Standard on Covid-19 Vaccine and Testing for employers with 100 or more employees. In Frequently Asked Questions OSHA explains the headcount rules specifically applicable to staffing agencies and clients. The ETS adopts the policy urged by ASA and other groups that employers not be required to pay for Covid-19 testing. The ETS technically is effective Nov. 5, 2021, the date of publication in the Federal Register, but employers have until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register (Dec. 6, 2021) to comply with the requirements—except for the testing provisions, which become effective 60 days after date of publication (Jan. 4, 2022).
