Sec. 22.403-2  Copeland Act.



    The Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (18 U.S.C. 874 and 40 U.S.C. 3145) 

makes it unlawful to induce, by force, intimidation, threat of procuring 

dismissal from employment, or otherwise, any person employed in the 

construction or repair of public buildings or public works, financed in 

whole or in part by the United States, to give up any part of the 

compensation to which that person is entitled under a contract of 

employment. The Copeland Act also requires each contractor and 

subcontractor to furnish weekly a statement of compliance with respect 

to the wages paid each employee during the preceding week. Contracts 

subject to the Copeland Act shall contain a clause (see 52.222-10) 

requiring contractors and subcontractors to comply with the regulations 

issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act.
