Earlier this year, President Biden issued Executive Order 14026, which increased the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors to $15.

On September 29, 2022, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the amended minimum wage for federal contractors will increase to $16.20 due to inflation. The increase will apply to Service Contract and Davis-Bacon and Related Act contracts, and will be in-effect on January 1, 2023.

This increase will also apply to tipped federal contractors covered by Executive Order 14026, whose minimum wage will increase to $13.75 per hour, up from $10.50.

Executive Order 14026, and its increase in the federal contractor employee minimum wage, applies to federal contracts initiated after January 30, 2022, and existing federal contracts that are renewed or extended after this date.
