State Alerts

The U.S. Department of Labor and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council have published the final guidance and regulations implementing the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order (E.O. 13673).  The Executive Order sets forth procedures requiring federal agency contracting officers to consider an employer’s record of workplace law compliance when awarding contracts and subcontracts valued at more than $500,000.  Consistent with this goal, prospective and existing contractors on covered contracts are not only required to disclose administrative determinations, arbitral awards, and civil judgments resulting from violations of any one of 14 enumerated labor laws and their state law equivalents, but they are also required to comply with the Executive Order’s Paycheck Transparency requirements.

Please be reminded that you can take proactive steps at this time to help ensure that you will be in compliance with the new FLSA regulations come December 1, 2016.
