Practice question
An appealed compliance order directs regularization of a group of contractor-deployed workers. To defeat that directive, the principal arranges termination of the covered workers during appeal without any just or authorized cause. It argues that the pending appeal necessarily protects it from implementation. What consequence does EO 51 Section 4 expressly address?
- Termination of the covered workers pending appeal renders the regularization compliance order executory under the stated rule.
- The appeal grants unrestricted power to remove them.
- The directive automatically disappears when workers are removed.
- The employer may choose whether the order continues to exist.
- The workers must restart every inspection from the beginning automatically.
