VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years.

** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **

If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:

The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE

Standard Form 1444 (SF-1444)

Conformance Process:

The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a final determination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits which shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iv)(C)(vi)). When multiple wage determinations are included in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.

The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:

1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in order the proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the Wage and Hour Division, U.S. Department of Labor, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, or notifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to process the request.

5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour decision to the contractor.

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.

Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

** OCCUPATIONS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCA DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **

Advocate

Advocacy services for the AW2 program include providing non-clinical case management to the Soldiers and their Families throughout the continuum of care from recovery through rehabilitation to reintegration to active duty or transition to civilian life as a veteran. The Army has established an Advocate-to-Soldier caseload ratio of 1:60. Advocates shall assist the recovering service members (RSM) and their Family and caregivers navigate through the continuum of care to achieve desires outcomes, while minimizing fragmentation of care inherent within a large collaborative health care system. Advocates shall provide compliant advocacy services that includes non-clinical case management, professional development and administrative support that is inter-service, interagency, and intergovernmental using public and private collaboration methods and common standards of care to support the recovery of wounded, ill, and RSM, that includes support for the Veterans, Family members and designated caregivers. The seven essential domains of case management used below have been adapted for the AW2 program for quality measurement. The non-clinical case management tasks are not standards of practice or business procedures, but rather the key process indicators with desired outcomes to measure process quality. Non-clinical case management is iterative and cyclical process with phases that are revisited as necessary until desired outcomes are achieved for the RSM. In addition, as part of process improvements Advocates should expect changes to improve quality, safety, cost-effectiveness, resource management all designed to assist the RSM and the AW2 program achieves goals. Ultimately, the contract’s ability to assist the RSM and their support system recover with minimal discrepancies and no incidents or lapse care will be the measure of quality.

Personnel providing advocate services will work with medical case managers and non-medical care managers involved with the Soldier and their Family for the development and execution of the Comprehensive Transition Plan (CTP)/ Lifecycle Management Plan (LCMP). Advocacy services shall provide a seamless integration of all activities and actions for Wounded Warriors to reach a goal of maximum independence. Each Wounded Warrior/Family member’s path to independence is uniquely different for every Soldier, Veteran and Family member as they adjust to the “new norm”, which is living and adapting to live with severe injuries, illnesses or diseases. Non-clinical case management includes screening, assessment, planning, implementation, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, making recommendations, and documenting interactions through the AW2 advocate database. The Advocate shall implement the CTP by promoting adherence to the plan to improve healthcare outcomes. To improve outcomes, Advocates shall provide information and education about AW2 program services to the RSM and/or their Caregiver. Dependent on clinical circumstances, Advocates on behalf of RMS or Caregiver shall arrange for specific program support and services. Advocates shall accompany RSMs to Medical Evaluation Boards, Physical Evaluation Boards, and other medical or administrative appointments as needed and approved by the government. Advocates shall manage the CTP using the LCMP assessment tool, anticipating future challenges during phases of recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration until all health outcomes are achieve. To improve outcomes, advocates shall provide information on benefits and information from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to Army specific information and benefits, Veterans Affairs benefits, Army Wounded Warrior Programs, and Family Readiness Centers. Advocates shall coordinate the transfer of an updated CTP to the assigned personnel and directly communicate with appropriate medical and non-medical personnel should the RSM relocate to a different location for care.

Coordination may include communicating with Department of Defense, the VA, the Department of Labor, and the Social Security Administration to achieve planned outcomes in the CTP. Advocates shall monitor the goals and the health outcomes using the CTP and LCMP assessment tool. Advocates shall identify issues that are affecting goal achievement and hindering progress through re-assessment and/or monitoring. Advocates shall determine the progress of the RSM by evaluating the goals outlined in the CTP and using the LCMP tool to determine how to best support the RSM and the Family through the entire spectrum of care management, rehabilitation, and transition services. Advocates shall assist to resolve issues for AW2 Soldiers and Family members within assigned caseloads by ensuring necessary referrals are made and the issue and task-tracking module are updated within the AWCTS database.-tracking file. Advocates shall identify gaps in non-medical services and intervene as necessary to expedite outcomes and assist with coordination of resources to develop and improve outcomes for enhanced delivery of non-medical services such as financial counseling, spouse employment assistance, respite care information, and childcare assistance and other information on services and resources available through the National Resource Directory. Advocates shall work closely with internal and external organizations to ensure delivery of assistance and to resolve conflicts.
