Proposed Rules for Federal Contractors Minimum Wage: Employment Law Manual Updated

Author: Michael Cardman, XpertHR Legal Editor

The US Department of Labor on June 12 issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would implement an Executive Order issued by President Obama earlier this year establishing a $10.10 minimum wage for employees of federal contractors.

If finalized, the proposed rules would define which types of federal contracts are covered under the Executive Order.

The Federal Contractors section of the Employment Law Manual has been updated to reflect these proposed rules.
