Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability.

Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection.

If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employeeswith 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paidsick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for theirown illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; toassist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill,injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or forreasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like familyto the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, orstalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protectionsunder the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.27 per hour or $170.80 per week or $740.13 per monthVACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor orsuccessor, 3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (See 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Cistmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance 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 doesnot 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. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) 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 occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations 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 theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications;(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications;(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills.

Alloperations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordnance, 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 orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof 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, StandardForm 1444 (SF-1444) **Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractorprior 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 finaldetermination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits whichshall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first dayof work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failureto pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interestedparties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to thedate such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Actand this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations areincluded in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wagedetermination 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 conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderthe proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation 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, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe 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 copyof such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See29 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 ofOccupations" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that dutiesrequested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wagedetermination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).
