FAR 3.503-2 is the rule that stops people from sharing secret information during government buying. It keeps things fair and honest.
FAR 3.503-2 says people working on government contracts can't ask job applicants for their old salary. This rule helps make hiring fair and stops pay discrimination. It protects workers and keeps the process honest when hiring on federal projects.
FAR 3.503-2 says companies can’t ask workers to hold back bad news about problems with government contracts. It helps make sure the government hears the truth. If something wrong is happening—like waste or rule-breaking—workers should feel safe telling the right people. This FAR rule protects honesty and stops pressure from bosses not to speak up. It's part of keeping government deals fair and clear.
A common mistake with FAR 3.503-2 is not recognizing when a contingent fee is improper. Some forget that paying someone just to win a contract can break the rules—especially if that person isn’t a “bona fide” employee or sales agent. Others fail to check if an agreement is fully disclosed, which causes compliance issues later. Always review agreements carefully and make sure they follow FAR guidelines. Missing this can lead to penalties or contract delays.
