Computer professionals employed in executive, administrative, or professional roles at compensation levels meeting exempt thresholds are excluded from this determination. Employees requiring uniforms must have uniform costs provided or reimbursed at $3.35 weekly unless uniforms require only routine washing. The determination incorporates duties from the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations and includes a conformance process for unlisted occupations requiring SF-1444 submission to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division within 30 days of unlisted class commencement.
