Rule Listed in FAC 2022-04
Subject: Increasing the Minimum Wage for Contractors.
FAR Case: 2021-014.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the
actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR rule, refer to the
specific subject set forth in the document following this summary. FAC
2022-04 amends the FAR as follows:
Increasing the Minimum Wage for Contractors (FAR Case 2021-014)
This interim rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
to
[[Page 4117]]
implement Executive Order (E.O.) 14026, Increasing the Minimum Wage for
Federal Contractors, and a final rule issued by the Department of Labor
(DOL). E.O. 14026 seeks to raise the hourly minimum wage paid by
contractors to workers performing work on or in connection with covered
Federal contracts to $15.00 per hour beginning January 30, 2022, and
beginning January 1, 2023, and annually thereafter, an amount
determined by the Secretary of Labor. This rule makes revisions to the
existing FAR coverage regarding minimum wage requirements for Federal
contractors by increasing the hourly minimum wage paid by certain
Federal contractors to workers performing work on or in connection with
covered Federal contracts; referencing DOL's new requirements for
tipped workers; expanding the geographical scope of the minimum wage
requirements by defining United States as including U.S. territories
and possessions; and removing the exemption for seasonal recreational
services or seasonal recreational equipment rental from the minimum
wage requirements. DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect this rule to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities,
because DOL has determined that their rule would not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities. DoD, GSA, and NASA
agree with this assessment.
