PURPOSE:

BACKGROUND:

  • In February 2014, the President issued Executive Order 13658, which established a new $10.10 per hour minimum wage for contractors with the Federal Government.
  • EO 13658 also applies to “contract-like instruments” defined in Department of Labor guidance to include permits involving guides and outfitters operating on federal lands.
