All occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, $222.00 weekly, or $962.00 monthly) for health and welfare, or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave provisions. Employees receive two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after five years, and four weeks after 15 years, plus a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals (footnote 1, with exemptions under 29 U.S.C. 213), air traffic controllers and weather observers receiving night and Sunday pay differentials (footnote 2), and employees working with hazardous materials receiving 4-8 percent pay differentials.
