White Paper

Fate of Unpaid Sick Leave for Workers on Federal Contracts Uncertain

 
The outcome of the recent presidential election may result in the reversal of many of what are viewed as “employee friendly” initiatives of President Obama. One such action was Executive Order (E.O.) 13706, signed by President Obama on September 7, 2015, which established paid sick leave for federal contractors. After the E.O. was issued, the U.S. Department of Labor estimated that about 1.5 million workers employed by federal contractors would benefit from this order. E.O. 13706 can be reversed by President-elect Trump, through his own executive order, the first day he is in office. The reversal of U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) implementing regulations may, however, be a bit more complicated. It should be noted that an earlier order issued by President Obama in February 2014, E.O. 13658, established a minimum wage initially of $10.10 for all workers on federal construction and service contracts.
