Question 1: Reviewing the requirements for staffing it states a kennel personnel onsite from 6am-7pm 7 days a week. We assume this is 365 days a year including holidays. In the wage scale we do not see a specific occupation for kenneling staff. Will this staff fall under the minimum pay range of $10.60 or is there a category specific for this position?

Answer: Section 8.5 of the SOW has been updated to state, “The kennel facility shall be staffed continuously, on site, by at least one employee, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. PST and 7:00 p.m. PST, seven days a week, including holidays.”

If no specific labor category is identified, in accordance with Title 29 C.F.R. Part 4, Section 4.6(d), the contractor is required to pay no less than the Federal minimum wage.
