Proposed Rule Requiring Federal Contractors to Pay a $15 Minimum Wage Is Released
The Labor Department is seeking comments by August 23.
The Labor Department announced on Wednesday it’s seeking public comment on a proposed rule directing federal contractors to pay a $15 minimum wage for their workers starting next year.
The rule works to implement President Biden’s executive order from April, which builds on one from President Obama in February 2014 that required federal contractors to pay their workers $10.10 per hour. Currently, the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts is $10.95 per hour and the tipped minimum wage is $7.65 per hour.

The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals has ruled that a biopharmaceutical company does not have to pay a penalty for seeking reimbursement for unallowable executive compensation costs because the government dragged its feet on setting a cap on those costs.

The federal contracting community is generally pleased with President Biden’s $6 trillion budget request for fiscal 2022 released last Friday, as it sees opportunities with the administration s cybersecurity, climate change and workforce innovation priorities.
Biden is proposing a 16% increase in non-defense discretionary spending from fiscal 2021 ($769 billion) and a 1.7% increase for defense spending ($753 billion). The president’s detailed budget request, sent to Congress late last week, outlines how the administration is “recommitting to good government” and re-empowering the federal workforce to deliver for the American people.
