HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.22 per hour up to 40 hours per week or $168.80 per
week or $731.47 per month*
*This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-
covered contract also covered by EO 13706 Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal
Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any
paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.
VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or
successor 3 weeks after 5 years and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service
includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or
successor wherever employed and with the predecessor contractors in the
performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)
THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:
1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b) this wage determination does
not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive
administrative or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because
most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate
not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per
week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals (29 C.F.R. 541.
400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupations
within those job families. In addition because this wage determination may not
list a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey
data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds
$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. For
example if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties
within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer
occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate
then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the

conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage
determination.
Additionally because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer
industry job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer
professional exemption. Therefore the exemption applies only to computer employees
who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:
(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures including
consulting with users to determine hardware software or system functional
specifications;
(2) The design development documentation analysis creation testing or
modification of computer systems or programs including prototypes based on and
related to user or system design specifications;
(3) The design documentation testing creation or modification of computer
programs related to machine operating systems; or
(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties the performance of which
requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).
2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you
work at night as part of a regular tour of duty you will earn a night differential
and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.
If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your
regularly scheduled workweek you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday
premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime
(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered
overtime work).
** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **
An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to
ordnance explosives and incendiary materials. This includes work such as
screening blending dying mixing and pressing of sensitive ordnance explosives
and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide black powder and photoflash powder.
All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization
modification renovation demolition and maintenance operations on sensitive
ordnance explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading
and cleaning of artillery ranges.
A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that
represents a low degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to
ordnance (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials
which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands face or arms of the
employee engaged in the operation irritation of the skin minor burns and the like;
minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All
operations involving unloading storage and hauling of ordnance explosive and
incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract by the employer by the state or
local law etc.) the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an
employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage
determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the
following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual
cost of the uniforms. In addition where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made
the responsibility of the employee all contractors and subcontractors subject to
this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining
agreement providing for a different amount or the furnishing of contrary
affirmative proof as to the actual cost) reimburse all employees for such cleaning
and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However in
those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear""
materials may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments and do
not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning daily washing or commercial
laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms
of the Government contract by the contractor by law or by the nature of the work
there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.
** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the
""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" Fifth Edition (Revision 1)
dated September 2015 unless otherwise indicated.
** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE Standard
Form 1444 (SF-1444) **
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is
not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e. the work to
be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination) be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR
4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor
prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees
(See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final
determination of conformed classification wage rate and/or fringe benefits which
shall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day
of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure

to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested
parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the
date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act
and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations are
included in a contract a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage
determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award the contractor prepares a written report listing in order
the proposed classification title(s) a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each
proposed classification(s) job description(s) and rationale for proposed wage
rate(s) including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the
authorized representative of the employees involved or where there is no authorized
representative the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the
contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees
performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report
of the action together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees to the U.S.
Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).
4) Within 30 days of receipt the Wage and Hour Division approves modifies or
disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer or
notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process
the request.
5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the
contractor.
6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy
of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See
29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.
When preparing a conformance request the ""Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations"" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties
requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage
determination. Remember it is not the job title but the required tasks that
determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.
Conformances may not be used to artificially split combine or subdivide
classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
