Paid Sick Leave for 2017-001 Delgado. Federal Contractors. II.......... Non-Retaliation for 2016-007 Delgado. Disclosure of Compensation Information. III......... Technical Amendments.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summaries for each FAR rule follow. For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by these rules, refer to the specific item numbers and subjects set forth in the documents following these item summaries. FAC 2005-100 amends the FAR as follows: Item I--Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors (FAR Case 2017-001) DoD, GSA, and NASA are converting to a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13706 and a Department of Labor final rule issued on September 30, 2016, both entitled Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. The rule requires contractors to allow all employees performing work on or in connection with a contract covered by the E.O. to accrue and use paid sick leave in accordance with E.O. 13706 and 29 CFR part 13. Contracting officers will include a clause in covered contracts. This FAR rule neither increases nor decreases the cost of the interim rule (81 FR 91627), which has been in effect since January 1, 2017. Item II--Non-Retaliation for Disclosure of Compensation Information (FAR Case 2016-007) DoD, GSA, and NASA are converting to a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13665, Non-Retaliation for Disclosure of Compensation Information. E.O. 13665, signed April 8, 2014, amended E.O. 11246, Equal Opportunity in Federal Employment. The interim FAR rule also implemented a final rule issued by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the Department of Labor, entitled Government Contractors, Prohibitions Against Pay Secrecy Policies and Actions, which was published on September 11, 2015. E.O. 11246, originally issued September 24, 1965, establishes nondiscrimination and affirmative action obligations in employment for Federal contractors and subcontractors. It prohibits employment discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and national origin. E.O. 13665 amends E.O. 11246 and its Equal Opportunity Clause by incorporating, as a covered prohibition, discriminating against employees and job applicants who inquire about, discuss, or disclose the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. Federal contractors and subcontractors must disseminate this nondiscrimination provision, using language prescribed by the Director of OFCCP, including incorporating the provision into existing employee manuals or handbooks and posting it. There is no significant impact on small entities imposed by the FAR rule. Item III--Technical Amendments Editorial changes and updates to web links are made at FAR 2.101, 4.1603, 4.1702, 5.102, 5.201, 5.207, 5.704, 5.705, 6.305, 7.103, 7.105, 7.107-4, 8.405-6, 8.501, 8.602, 9.406-3, 9.407-3, 14.201-2, 16.505, 17.502-1, 18.205, 19.704, 19.1503, 22.001, 22.404-3, 22.1001, 22.1021, 22.1022, 22.1304, 23.202, 23.203, 23.205, 23.401, 23.405, 23.802, 25.003, 25.703-2, 28.106-1, 28.106-3, 28.203-3, 28.204-3, 31.205-6, 36.104, 36.700, 41.301, 49.602, 52.208-8, 52.212-1, 52.212-3, 52.212-5, 52.213-4, 52.219-9, 52.222-6, 52.222-8, 52.222-30, 52.222-31, 52.222- 32, 52.222-41, 52.222-43, 52.223-17, 52.225-5, 52.225-18, 52.225-25, 52.228-11, 52.243-1, 52.244-6, 53.000, 53.102, 53.209-1, 53.228, 53.249 and subpart 53.3.
