FAR 22.2106 Prohibited acts.

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 lists actions a contractor is prohibited from taking under Executive Order 13706 and its implementing regulations on paid sick leave. It bars interfering with employees' paid sick leave, retaliating against employees for exercising related rights, and failing to keep or provide required records. These prohibitions matter because violating them can expose a contractor to enforcement under the clause at 52.222-62.

Applies to: Contractors subject to the clause at 52.222-62, Paid Sick Leave Under Executive Order 13706
