EXHIBIT F - HOLIDAYS
Although this contract does not provide separate hourly rates for overtime, holiday, or premium pay, the Government recognizes the following holidays for which the Contractor may have to pay its employees premium pay. Those Contractor employees who either are United States citizens or hired in the United States shall be entitled to premium pay for U.S. holidays only, and Contractor employees who neither are United States citizens nor hired in the United States shall be entitled to only those holidays recognized by Zambia.
American and Zambia Holidays
| (A) |
| Martin Luther King Jr. Day |
| (A - Z) |
| Independence Day/Unity Day |
(A) - American Holidays
(Z) - Zambia Holidays
Any other day designated by Federal law, Executive Order, or Presidential Proclamation.
When any such day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is observed. Observance of such days by Government personnel shall not be cause for additional period of performance or entitlement to compensation except as set forth in the contract. If the Contractor’s personnel work on a holiday, no form of holiday or other premium compensation will be reimbursed either as a direct or indirect cost, unless authorized pursuant to an overtime clause elsewhere in this contract.
When the Department of State grants administrative leave to its Government employees, assigned Contractor personnel in Government facilities shall also be dismissed. However, the Contractor agrees to continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform round-the-clock requirements of critical tasks already in operation or scheduled, and shall be guided by the instructions issued by the contracting officer or his/her duly authorized representative.
For fixed-price contracts, if services are not required or provided because the building is closed due to inclement weather, unanticipated holidays declared by the President, failure of Congress to appropriate funds, or similar reasons, deductions will be computed as follows:
(1) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be equal to the per month contract price divided by 21 days per month.
(2) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be multiplied by the number of days services are not required or provided.
If administrative leave is granted to Contractor personnel as a result of conditions stipulated in any “Excusable Delays” clause of this contract, it will be without loss to the Contractor. The cost of salaries and wages to the Contractor for the period of any such excused absence shall be a reimbursable item of direct cost hereunder for employees whose regular time is normally charged, and a reimbursable item of indirect cost for employees whose time is normally charged indirectly in accordance with the Contractor’s accounting policy.
