Executive Order 14026, which raises the minimum wage for federal contractors, applies to new contracts and renewals and extensions of existing contracts.

Here are some the smart things contractors do to make their businesses succeed, and tips on how to do those things if you aren’t already.

The Department of Labor states the rule was in tension with the FLSA’s text and purpose, as well as relevant judicial precedent.

The order stipulates the minimum wage will be $15 an hour beginning Jan. 30, 2022, and agencies must implement the measure by March 30, 2022.

The PAID program enabled employers to avoid accountability and deprived workers of their rights from taking action on FLSA violations, according to the Department of Labor.
