MEMORANDUM # 71      ATTACHMENT A
To: Agencies Administering Statutes Referred        DATE: May 18, 1967
to in 29 CFR, Subtitle A, Part 5
FROM: Charles Donahue
Solicitor of Labor
SUBJECT: Summer Employment of Youth on Federally
Financed and Federally assisted Construction
Projects
To facilitate a fuller participation in the Youth Opportunity Campaign
this Department will take no exception to the practice of paying summer
employees below the journeyman's .rate where this practice is agreed to
by the collective bargaining agent and is part of a bona fide Youth
Opportunity Program. Accordingly - -
(1) Where an agreement has been reached between labor and management
providing for the employment of summer help at a reduced rate,
the contracting agency may establish an additional classification
and rate for such employee. The establishment and use of such a
classification and rate must be in complete accord with the terms
of the agreement. If it has not already been done, the agency
should require that the agreement be reduced to writing and
that it be furnished a copy prior to any employment under it.
(2) If for some reason an agency does not wish to follow the reclassi-
fication procedure outlined above, it may permit the use of a rate
lower than that predetermined for a particular classification, pro-
vided again that it conforms to the terms of the particular agree-
ment providing for a reduced rate for summer assistance.
(3) A report of these reclassification actions, as well as any questions
or dispute as to the action taken, should be submitted to this
Department by the agency in the same manner as provided for routine
reclassification actions in Section 5.5(a)(1)(ii) of 29 CFR, Part 5.
(4) The agency should make such inquiry or investigation as it deems
necessary to assure that such employees are bona fide students
employed on a temporary basis for the summer months only.
