Additional rates are provided for painters, plasterers, plumbers, roofers, and sheet metal workers with effective dates ranging from April 2024 to July 2025. The document includes footnotes regarding vacation accrual, paid holidays, and references to Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for federal contractors. Unlisted classifications may be added post-award per 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iii), and the document provides guidance on wage determination appeals procedures directed to appropriate Department of Labor branches.
