Paycheck Transparency: Contractors are now required to provide
additional information to employees about their pay, including pay amount,
specific hours worked, specific over-time hours worked, and all deductions to a
paycheck, among other points.
Labor Law Violations Disclosures: Contractors must make certain disclosures
regarding adverse judgments in lawsuits, decisions in administrative/agency
proceedings, and arbitration awards, in situations where the contract to be
procured is valued in excess of $500,000.
Arbitration Agreement Restrictions: Further restrictions were placed on the use
of arbitration provisions concerning certain Title VII sexual harassment
claims, in various settings.
The new requirements follow a series of executive orders
issued by the President addressing companies engaged in business with the
government, including, among others, decrees barring discrimination against LGBT employees (issued on July 21) and
also setting an increased minimum wage
for government contractors’ employees (issued in January and raising the
minimum pay level to at least $10.10).
