FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 22: Application of Labor Laws to Government Acquisitions › Subpart 22.10

FAR 22.1020 Seniority lists.

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 requires an incumbent prime contractor to give the contracting officer a certified list of all service employees on its or its subcontractors' payroll during the contract's last month, including anniversary dates of employment, no later than 10 days before the contract ends. The contracting officer then gives the list to the successor contractor so it can determine employee eligibility for vacation or other fringe benefits based on length of service. It matters because it affects how service employees' benefits carry over when a new contractor takes over work at a Federal facility.

Applies to: Incumbent prime contractors performing at a Federal facility where employees may be hired or retained by a succeeding contractor

What it requires

  • Furnish a certified list of all service employees on the contractor's or subcontractor's payroll during the last month of the contract, with anniversary dates of employment, to the contracting officer no later than 10 days before contract completion

The text

If a contract is performed at a Federal facility where employees may be hired/retained by a succeeding contractor, the incumbent prime contractor is required to furnish a certified list of all service employees on the contractor's or subcontractor's payroll during the last month of the contract, together with anniversary dates of employment, to the contracting officer no later than 10 days before contract completion. (See paragraph (n) of the clause at 52.222-41, Service Contract Labor Standards.) At the commencement of the succeeding contract, the contracting officer shall provide a copy of the list to the successor contractor for determining employee eligibility for vacation or other fringe benefits which are based upon length of service, including service with predecessor contractors if such benefit is required by an applicable wage determination.
