Government Exempts Some Contracts from Minimum Wage Rules

in Blog by

Back in 2014, the President issued an Executive Order (EO) raising the minimum wage for workers performing work on Federal contracts. Later that year, the Labor Department issued regulations implementing the EO. In 2018, the current President issued his own EO which exempted contracts for recreational services on federal lands and for seasonal recreational services or seasonal recreational equipment rentals. The EO defined seasonal recreational services as river running, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, camping, mountaineering activities, recreational ski services, and youth camps. The EO specifically stated that the exemption does not apply to lodging and food services associated with seasonal recreational activities.
