Executive Order 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors
For American workers whose employers do not provide paid sick leave, taking time off to go to the doctor can mean missing out on wages or running the risk of getting fired. The Department of Labor is announcing publication of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to implement Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. The EO requires certain parties that contract with the Federal Government to provide their employees with up to 7 days of paid sick leave annually, including paid leave allowing for family care. The EO directs the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations by September 30, 2016 to implement the Order’s requirements. The full text of the NPRM and other information can be found on the Federal Register’s Public Inspection web page at
