Agencies could be liable for certain costs under sequestration - FederalNewsRadio.com

"The Office of Management and Budget issued guidance today detailing what types of costs vendors could charge back to agency customers under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.

At the same time, the Defense Department responded to a letter from the National Defense Industrial Association about sequestration, saying it doesn't foresee having to "terminate or significantly modify contracts" if sequestration takes effect.

The OMB guidance and DoD letter are, in part, attempts to alleviate industry fears about having to issue layoff notices to workers 60 days before the cuts are scheduled to go into effect. The WARN Act requires employees to be notified should major layoffs occur."
