(n) Changes. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the Changes clause of this contract, the Contracting Officer may, at any time, by written order identified as a change order, make changes in Government-furnished facilities, equipment, material, services, or site. Any change order issued in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of the Changes clause of this contract.

5152.222-4034 KOREAN LABOR LAW

Contractors and subcontractors at all tiers, shall honor employees’ rights in full compliance with Korean Labor Law, including the rights of succession of employment. Failure to comply may be deemed breach or default of the contract and evidence of nonresponsibility. Such violation of Korean Labor Law may be evidenced by a Republic of Korea Ministry of Labor determination, a court decision, or a Labor Relations Commission adjudication. If a contractor is found to be in serious violation and fails to take adequate corrective action promptly, USFK may consider this grounds for determining the contractor to be non-responsible for future Government contracts.
