FAR 22.1018 Notification to contractors and employees.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This section tells the contracting officer how to make sure service employees learn about the minimum wages and fringe benefits required on the contract. After award, the officer must inform the contractor of the Service Contract Labor Standards requirements and provide the Department of Labor notice (WH-1313) for posting at the worksite. It matters to contractors because they must post that notice and follow the wage and fringe benefit requirements it describes.

Applies to: Contracting officers and contractors on service contracts covered by the Service Contract Labor Standards statute

What it requires

  • The contracting officer must inform the contractor of the labor standards requirements and the contractor's responsibilities, unless the contractor is clearly already fully informed
  • The contracting officer must furnish Department of Labor Publication WH-1313 at award for the contractor to post prominently and accessibly at the worksite before performance begins
  • The contracting officer must attach any applicable wage determination to Publication WH-1313

The text

The contracting officer shall take the following steps to ensure that service employees are notified of minimum wages and fringe benefits.

(a) As soon as possible after contract award, inform the contractor of the labor standards requirements of the contract relating to the Service Contract Labor Standards statute and of the contractor's responsibilities under these requirements, unless it is clear that the contractor is fully informed.

(b) At the time of award, furnish the contractor Department of Labor Publication WH-1313, Notice to Employees Working on Government Contracts, for posting at a prominent and accessible place at the worksite before contract performance begins. The publication advises employees of the compensation (wages and fringe benefits) required to be paid or furnished under the Service Contract Labor Standards statute and satisfies the notice requirements in paragraph (g) of the clause at 52.222-41, Service Contract Labor Standards.

(c) Attach any applicable wage determination to Publication WH-1313.
