Government Enjoined from Implementing Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.25.16

The court held that the executive order, implementing regulations, and DOL guidance violated the First Amendment, contractors’ due process rights, and the Federal Arbitration Act and enjoined the government from (a) implementing any portion of the FAR rule or the DOL Guidance relating to the new reporting and disclosure requirements and (b) enforcing the new restriction on arbitration agreements, while permitting “paycheck transparency” requirements to proceed.
