The Federal Acquisition Regulatory (FAR) Council has issued a final rule implementing Executive Order 13496 and a Department of Labor (DOL) regulation requiring most federal contractors to notify employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The final rule became effective immediately upon its Nov. 2 publication in the Federal Register and makes no changes to an interim rule issued by the FAR Council in December 2010. While the DOL regulation, which took effect in June 2010, established the content of the required notice, flow-down requirements, and penalties and procedures for noncompliance, further rulemaking was needed by the FAR Council to officially notify contracting officers to insert a new clause in covered contracts to render so that contractors would be contractually required to post the notices.

The letter suggests that the Commission will continue to treat arrests and convictions differently and will closely review the employer’s policy with regard to how long convictions are disqualifying and whether the underlying criminal conduct is related to the job duties for the position in question.
