VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of s rvice with a contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of .ontinuous service with t e pres nt contrae~or or successor, wherever employed, and with the redecesso eontr ctors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (Reg. 29 CfR 4.173)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMB RED FOOT OTES IN PARENTHES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEEo: Under the SCA at section 8(b), th's wage determination does not apply to any employee who i divid ally qualifies as a bona fide executive, administrative, or profession 1 employee as d fined in 29 .F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers "ho are compe sated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a s lary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify s xempt co put r professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be listed on th's wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In ad itio , b ca se this wage de ermi ation may not list a wage rate for some or all occ pations within those job families if the survey data indicates t at the prevailing wag rat_ for the occupation eq als or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances m y be necessary f'r certain nonex m t employees. For example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Comp ter Sy'tems Analyst or Comp ter Programmer oc upations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate, then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in ace rdance with the conformance procedures described in the confo ance note included on this wage http://www.wdol.gov/wdol/scatl1es/ td/05-2503.txt? -13 3/11/2013 determination.

Additionally, beca se job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry, job titles are noc determinative of the pplication of the computer professio al exemption. Therefore, t e exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and w ose prim ry duty consists of:

( ) The applica ion of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including con ulting with users, to determine har ware, software or system functional specifications;

(2) The de~ign, development, docume tation, analysis, creation, testing or mod' fie tion of computer syster,s or pro rams, including prototypes, based on and related to user or sys em design specific tions;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, c eation or modification of comp ter programs related to machine operating syst ms; or

(4) A combination of the aforementi ned duties, the performance of which re uires the same level of skills. (29 C.t.R. 541.400).

2) APPLICABLE TO AIR TRAFFIC CO T OLLERS ONLY - IGHT DIFFERE TI L: An employee is entitled to pay for all work er ormed between the h urs of 6:00 .~. and 6:00 A.M.

at the rate o~ basic pay plus a night pay differential amounting to 10 percent of the rate of basic pay.

3) AIR TRAFFIC CO. TROLLERS AND WEATHER OBJERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work a~ nigh s part of a re lar tOlr of du y, you will earn a night diffe entia1 and receive an additional lO~ of basic pay for any hours orked between 6pm and 6 m.

If you are a f II-time employed (40 ho~rs a week) and Sunday is part of you regularly scheduled workweek, yo' a e paid at your rate of asic pay plus a unday premi m of 25% of your basic rate _or each hour of S nday work wh'ch is not overtime (i.e. occasion 1 work on Sunday ou side the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL: An 8 percent different~al is applicable to employees employed in a position that re resents high de ree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordinance, explos'ves, and incend'ary materials. This inclUdes work such as screening, bIen ing, ying, m'x'ng, an pressing of sensitive ordance, explosives, and pyr technic compositions such as lead azide, black pOWder and photofl sh powd r.
