Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act of 2025

This bill would give back pay to workers employed by companies that have contracts with the federal government if those workers lost pay because of a government shutdown in the 2026 fiscal year. Federal agencies would adjust the price of their contracts so that the contracting companies could pay back employees who were furloughed, laid off, had their hours cut, or had to use their paid leave during the shutdown. The most an employee could receive per week under this bill is $1,442 or their actual weekly pay, whichever is less. The bill also requires a government office to send Congress a report on how the pay adjustments were handled.
