VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of ser ice with a contractor or successor; and 3 weeks after 8 years. Length of se vice includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or s ccessor, 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, ew 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 holi,ays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employee involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174)

1) Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determ'nation does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide xecutive, administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 41. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are co pensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not 1 ss than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt comuter professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wa e determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition, becaus 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 he occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for ertain nonexempt employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt b t nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Ana yst or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not s ecify 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 'ncluded on this wage determination.

Additionally, because job titles v ry widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are not deter inative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requ'rements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determi e hardware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The design, development, ocumentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems r programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design pecifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine opera ing systems; or

(4) A combination of the aformentioned duties, the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND W ATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regula, tour of duty, you will earn a night differential and receive an additional 10% of asic 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 0 tside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 ~ercent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that repre ents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance,xplosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such as screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyrotech ic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-h use 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 f artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is appli able 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 a jacent to) explosives and incendiary materials which involves potential injury s ch 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, unloadi g, storage, and hauling of ordance, explosive, and incendiary ordnance material othe than small arms ammunition. These differentials are only applicable to work that as been specifically designated by the agency for ordance, explosives, and incendi y material differential pay.

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the (either by the terms of the Government contract, b local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such unif laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an ex employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate b determination. The Department of Labor will accept following standards as compliance:

erformance of this contract the employer, by the state or rms and maintaining (by ense that may not be borne by an low that required by the wage payment in accordance with the

The contractor or subcontractor is required to fur ish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to rei burse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform leaning 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 we'ar" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with 0 her personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry clean~ng, 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 1 w, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimburse for uniform maintenance costs.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fi th 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.

Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the mo etary 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.
