Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and subject to the availability of appropriations, funds made available by this Act or any other Act may be used to modify the terms and conditions of a contract, or other agreement, without consideration, to authorize a federal agency to reimburse at contract billing rates not to exceed an average of 40 hours per week any contractor paid leave, including sick leave, the contractor provides to its employees to ensure the effective response to the declared national emergency for the coronavirus pandemic event.
Such authority shall apply only to a contractor whose employees cannot perform work on a federally owned or leased facility or site due to Federal Government directed closures or other restrictions, and who cannot telework because their job duties cannot be performed remotely during the declared national emergency for the coronavirus pandemic event. This authority also shall apply to subcontractors. The amounts made available by this section are designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
