Unionized Employers
Organizations with union-represented workforces must navigate employee relations issues within a framework that includes collective bargaining obligations, grievance procedures, disciplinary standards, and operational realities.

Government Contractors
Government contractors operating under federal prevailing wage laws face unique compliance obligations that require careful attention to pay practices, contract requirements, and workforce management. Contractors performing federally funded construction projects are subject to the Davis Bacon Act (DBA), while service providers working under federal service contracts must comply with the Service Contract Act (SCA). These laws impose detailed requirements related to wage determinations, fringe benefits, worker classification, payroll documentation, and subcontractor oversight.
Failure to properly interpret or implement prevailing wage requirements can expose contractors to significant financial liability, contract disruption, debarment, and reputational risk. Many compliance challenges arise from complex project structures, evolving contract scopes, subcontractor relationships, and misunderstandings regarding wage classifications or fringe benefit obligations.
Castile Labor & Compliance Partners advises government contractors navigating the complexities of prevailing wage compliance and workforce management. Drawing on extensive experience in federal wage and hour enforcement, the firm provides practical guidance to help contractors strengthen compliance practices, assess risk exposure, and address potential issues before they escalate into formal enforcement matters.
Representative areas of support may include:
Advisory support related to DBA and SCA compliance, including apprenticeship requirements
Wage determination and classification analysis
Review of payroll practices and prevailing wage compliance controls
Assessment of subcontractor labor compliance practices
Independent review of potential wage and hour exposure
Executive guidance on responding to labor compliance concerns
Castile provides experienced, practical support to contractors seeking to maintain strong compliance practices while managing the operational realities of federal contracting environments.
Mid-Size Private Employers
Mid-size private employers often face sophisticated labor and compliance issues without the benefit of extensive in-house labor relations infrastructure. When sensitive workplace issues arise, leadership teams may need experienced external guidance that is practical, independent, and tailored to the organization’s size and complexity.
Castile supports private employers confronting workplace investigations, wage and hour concerns, employee conduct issues, and broader workforce risk.
Representative areas of support may include:
Independent investigations and fact-finding
Wage and hour compliance assessment
