____________________________________________________________________________________________________
ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
HEALTH & WELFARE: $3.24 per hour or $129.60 per week or $561.60 per month
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)
HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid
holidays per year, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday,
Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A
contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off
with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees
involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)
THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE PARENTHESES AFTER THEM RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS (as numbered):
1)
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 ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, 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 regrading 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 ordance, (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 ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.
** 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.
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006, unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site at http://wdol.gov/.
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. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract. {See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} 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 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.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure 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.
