DOL Posts FFCRA & SCA Guidance for Federal Contractors

Last week, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S Department of Labor (DOL) updated their COVID-19 and the American Workplace page to include COVID-19 and the Service Contract Act: Questions and Answers. The WHD previously posted information regarding the Families First Coronavirus Response Act that went into effect on April 1, 2020. The newest Q & A page builds upon the original guidance as to include the handling of fringe benefits for federal contractors covered by the Service Contract Act and the Davis-Bacon Act. The page also addresses paid sick leave as established by Executive Order 13706.
