Does this act apply to banks as a federally regulated institution? My initial take is that it applies to companies who bid on (and receive) jobs to provide services or manufacture items under federal contracts, not to banks. Can any one confirm?

The Walsh-Healey Act only covers federal contractors who manufacture or furnish materials, supplies, articles or euipment to an agency of the govenment. Employers covered under the Act must compensate employee at pay rates and provide certain benefits accordingly to the Service Contract Act, which the government sets. Banks are not covered under this Act. Be thankful you are not covered by it. It is a nightmare to work with.

Thanks. That is what I thought after researching it. One law we can ignore!

You may also come across the Bacon-Davis Act. This is similar to the Walsh-Healey Act except that it applies to construction companies who have contracts directly with a government agency. So you can also exclude this from your list of compliance issues.
