Overview
This subpart establishes the policies and procedures for implementing Executive Order 14026, which mandates a higher minimum wage for specific workers performing on or in connection with federal contracts.
Key Rules
- Executive Order Implementation: Directly implements E.O. 14026, "Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors."
- Regulatory Authority: References the Department of Labor (DOL) implementing regulations located at 29 CFR part 23.
- Supersession: Formally notes that E.O. 14026 supersedes the previous E.O. 13658.
- Historical Reference: Maintains a reference to 29 CFR part 10 for regulations governing the superseded E.O. 13658.
Practical Implications
- Contractors must ensure their pay practices align with the updated, higher wage requirements of E.O. 14026 rather than the legacy standards of E.O. 13658.
- Compliance oversight requires familiarity with both the FAR subpart and the detailed Department of Labor regulations found in 29 CFR part 23.
