A note to all federal contractors: The Biden Administration recently released proposed rules on pay transparency in hiring by federal contractors.
Under the proposed rules, contractors and subcontractors would be prohibited from seeking or considering information about the compensation history of job applicants when making hiring decisions for certain positions related to government contracts. The proposed rules would also require contractors and subcontractors to disclose the salary range for posted jobs that involve work in connection with government contracts.
Federal contractors and other interested parties can submit feedback on the proposed rules during the public comment period, which is open through April 1, 2024.
