However, no more than 36 hours of unused floating hours will be paid out to the PSC at the end of the option period. Floating hours accrued and used shall be recorded on the timesheet and approved by the PSC supervisor. Only travel during non-work hours can receive floating hours. All floating hours earned must be used by the end of the current option period. Floating hours are paid with current year funds that expire at the end of the option. Therefore, floating hours do not roll over to the next option period. Any unpaid or unused floating hours will be removed from the timesheet at the end of the current option or contract expiration.
12.4. Paid Time Off (PTO): All PSCs receive 15 days, 120 hours, of PTO per year. This time can be used as annual or sick leave and the balance shall be tracked on the PSC's timecard. All PTO are available for use on the first performance day of the contract. PTO does not roll over and must be used by the end of the current option. Unused PTO will not be paid out at the end of the option period. All PTO requests shall be approved by both the COR and PSC's supervisor.
12.5. Facility Closure: PSCs are only permitted to invoice for hours worked. Therefore, in the event of facility closure, delayed opening, or early dismissal of DFC staff, the PSC will not be paid for unworked hours. In these situations, the PSC has the option to telework, or use floating hours or PTO.
12.6. Federal Holidays ? PSCs are paid for all Federal Holidays as listed below and any additional federal holidays granted by executive order. As PSCs are not authorized overtime or comp time, any hours worked on a federal holiday are added to the timesheet as floating hours earned.

12.7 Conduct: By law and by the terms of their contracts with DFC, PSCs are subject to the laws, rules and regulations applicable to non-contract employees, including, without limitation, the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Hatch Act, and the laws and regulations governing the ethical conduct of Federal employees of the United States Government. Additionally, because PSCs are sole proprietors, they are subject to Section 441C of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) which prohibits PSCs "from making or soliciting a contribution to "any political party, committee, or candidate for public office or to any person for any political purpose or use."
12.8 Taxes: DFC issues W-2s to PSCs and makes the employer contribution to FICA and Medicare for the PSC. DFC also withholds FICA, Medicare, federal tax and state tax on behalf of the PSC. The PSC is not eligible for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
12.9 Performance Incentive: PSCs are eligible to receive annual performance incentive cash awards. The amount of the incentive is determined by the PSC's supervisor but is no more than the percentage applied when determining the DFC non- SL performance award cap. It is the COR's responsibility to submit a performance appraisal along with funding to PSC Contracting Officer so that the incentive award can be processed. PSCs contain a performance incentive CLIN that will be funded at the time of the incentive amount determination made by the supervisor.
C.13 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY/EQUIPMENT
13.1. The Government will provide all necessary equipment, supplies and materials to include workstations, computer, telephone and other materials and equipment to fulfill the requirements of this contract.
C.14 NONSALARY BENEFITS
14.1 Health Insurance and Retirement Subsidies: Per the Build Act, PSCs shall not be considered Federal employees for any provision of law administered by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Therefore, PSCs are not eligible to participate in employer-provided health insurance or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). In lieu of these benefits, DFC provides standard non-negotiable health insurance and retirement subsidies.
Health Insurance: this subsidy is based on the average of 72% of the OPM program-wide weighted average of premiums for "self only" and "self plus one" at the time of contract award. This amount is paid directly to the PSC as part of their salary regardless of their insured status. PSCs do not have to provide proof of insurance to receive this subsidy. This subsidy is fixed and does not increase in option years. The OPM rates can be found at https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/plan-information/premiums/
14.2. Retirement: this subsidy is a percentage equal to the federal employee contribution to OPM FERS at the time of contract award. The subsidy is applied to the PSC's annual salary inclusive of locality. The percentage of the subsidy does not increase over the contract period of performance. However, the amount of the subsidy increases as the PSC's annual salary increases according to the contract escalation rate. Current employee contribution rates to FERS can be found at https://www.dm.usda.gov/employ/policy/docs/USDA%20FERS%20Summary%20v2.pdf. Employees hired in 2014 or later contribute 4.4%.
14.3 Metro Subsidy or Parking Subsidy: PSCs are eligible to receive either the metro subsidy or parking subsidy. The amount of the subsidies are subject to annual changes and are processed by Facilities and Administrative Services, and the Department of Finance. The parking subsidy requires PSCs to authorize a payroll deduction for the reduced parking fee from their pay.
14.4. Gym Membership: PSCs are eligible to receive on-site gym membership subject to the same process as for FTEs.
Reimbursement for other gyms is not authorized.
