Mandatory benefits include two weeks of paid vacation after one year of service (increasing to three weeks after five years and four weeks after fifteen years), a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually, and paid sick leave provisions under Executive Order 13706 (1 hour per 30 hours worked, up to 56 hours annually). Computer professionals meeting specific compensation and duty requirements may be exempt if earning at least $27.63 per hour or $684 per week. Air traffic controllers and weather observers receive additional night differential pay (10 percent for 6pm-6am hours) and Sunday premiums (25 percent). Hazardous pay differentials of 8 percent and 4 percent apply to ordnance and explosive handling positions. Uniform allowances of $3.35 per week ($0.67 per day) are required unless uniforms require only routine washing. Any unlisted occupations must be classified and submitted via Standard Form 1444 for wage determination approval prior to contract performance.
