"The Dept. of Labor has dramatically increased the number of auditors devoted to reviewing government contracts for Service Contract Act (SCA) compliance. Enforcement efforts will focus not only on contractor compliance, but on the actions of the prime's subcontractors as well. Penalties for noncompliance include withholding of contract payments, contract cancellation, even debarment."

Centre Consulting provides training services to both the government and commercial sectors, and they are also a SYMPAQ user. If your existing accounting system doesn't comply with Service Contract Act requirements and you have SCA covered contracts in your business mix, you should know that SYMPAQ has built-in functionality for mandated health and welfare fringe benefit payouts for non-exempt employees who perform on such contracts.
