Highlights
A company contended that the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) was in error in assuming jurisdiction over withholdings for alleged labor standards violations. Even though the Department of Labor concurred with the ASBCA that the contractor violated labor standards provisions, the primary issue was the number of hours the contractor's employees worked. Since the matter involved enforcement of labor standards, GAO sustained the ASBCA decision.
