However, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., introduced an amendment that would strike it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2022\/01\/21\/office-of-personnel-management-directs-15-minimum-wage-for-federal-workers\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/OPM.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Office of Personnel Management directs $15 minimum wage for federal workers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Of the 67,000 affected employees, 56,000 work within the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amendment would not undo the executive order or revert contractor pay to previous levels, but would make it easier to abolish the contractor rules under a future administration or abandon the pay promise if a court ruled the order was improper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conservative critics and Republicans lawmakers argue that minimum wage laws unfairly limit business owners by mandating higher payrolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank have said the moves would force federal departments to cut back on services and on needed modernizations because of the extra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Donald Norcross, D-N.J. and the leader of several congressional efforts to raise the national minimum wage to $15 an hour, criticized Boebert\u2019s proposal as harmful to families in need of financial help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is people\u2019s livelihoods we\u2019re talking about,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cThis is about paying bills and putting food on tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTaking away money people are already earning is definitely one way to give the American people a clear view of where our [political] sides line up when it comes to supporting working people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/govcon\/2022\/06\/17\/federal-call-center-employees-protest-over-wages-at-maximus-headquarters\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Federal call center employees protest over wages at Maximus headquarters<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Workers at a federal call center run by Maximus Inc. planned to deliver a letter signed by 12,000 community supporters to the company\u2019s management, asking for higher wages and better health benefits.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether Boebert\u2019s amendment will get a full House discussion is unclear. House Rules officials will meet early next week to discuss how many of the 1,192 amendments filed to the authorization bill will be considered during floor debate in coming weeks. Since Democrats control the chamber, many Republican-backed amendments won\u2019t be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defense authorization bill is expected to be advanced by the chamber before the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with contractor pay, Biden issued another executive order providing a $15-an-hour minimum wage for federal workers. About 70,000 individuals were impacted by that move, with the majority of them, about 56,000 workers, employed by the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are about
