This government file outlines labor standards for federal contractors under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (PCA) and the Service Contract Act (SCA). It details requirements for minimum wages, overtime pay, fringe benefits, child labor, and safety and health conditions. The PCA applies to contracts over $10,000 for materials and equipment, mandating federal minimum wage, overtime for hours exceeding 40 per week, and prohibiting child and convict labor. The SCA covers service contracts, requiring prevailing wages and fringe benefits for contracts over $2,500, with a federal minimum wage for those below this threshold. Both acts enforce overtime pay and strict safety and health standards. The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are responsible for enforcement and provide contact information for complaints and inquiries. Prime contractors are liable for their subcontractors' compliance. The document emphasizes that these regulations do not supersede other laws or agreements offering higher labor standards.
