that were awarded between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, that were not 
renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022, and some procurement contracts 
entered into on or between January 30, 2022 and March 30, 2022, may be subject to 
EO 13658, which provides a lower minimum wage requirement than EO 14026. More

minimum wage rate under EO 14026 for time spent performing on or in conn\

with covered contracts.	
? Some state or local laws may provide greater worker protections; employers must 
follow the law that requires the highest rate of pay.
