Possible Exemption for DoD Contractors from the Fair Pay and Safe Workplace Executive Order | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
The President’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplace Executive Order 13673 has, to say the least, been very controversial, not for what it tries to achieve, but for the extreme record-keeping and reporting burden it places on businesses doing work for the Government. One of the recurring criticisms is its application to all contractors including those who have never had issues with of violations of pay and safety regulations. The implementing regulations by themselves are extensive. The Department of Labor’s is 103 pages. The FAR Council’s draft is 131 pages on top of Labor’s. Other Agencies of the Federal Government have their own.See our post from last March, Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces with links to other postings on our coverage of the subject.
