H.9. COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION AND IMPLEMENTING AGREEMENTS:
H.9.1. Consistent with Sections 321 and 323 of Title Three, Article II of the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 (Compact), PL 99-
239, January 14, 1986, effective 21 October 1986, the United States (U.S.) has entered into two agreements with the Government of the
Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), concerning U.S. use and operation of the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site (USAKA/RTS).
These implementing agreements are: (1) Military Use and Operating Rights Agreement (MUORA) and (2) Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).
While the contractor must ensure that its performance under the contract is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Compact and the implementing agreements, of particular significance are the following provisions, which affect the employment of personnel:
H.9.2. MUORA Article VIII - Employment of Labor. This article includes provisions dealing with (i) grandfathering of wages of local hire personnel employed by U.S. contractors; and (ii) equal pay for equal work in the employment of local hire personnel. Local hire personnel is defined in Article I, Section 2(f), of the SOFA as citizens and nationals of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, who are employed in the Marshall Islands by the Armed Forces of the United States or U.S. contractors. In implementation of these provisions, the contractor shall ensure that local hire personnel employed on the effective date of the Compact shall continue to receive wages no less than wages paid as of the effective date of the Compact October 21, 1986. Wages, for the purpose of insuring grandfathering of wages, is defined as (a) actual base pay; (b) employee fringe benefits e.g., vacation and sick leave, group insurance, hazardous pay, pension, and holidays; and (c) overtime pay as required by the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA). For example, if local hire personnel employed on the effective date of the Compact as carpenters were paid $5.00 per hour base pay, fringe benefits, and
$7.50 per hour for overtime, after the effective date of the Compact such local hire personnel shall be paid a wage not less than $5.00 per hour base pay, $7.50 per hour for overtime worked, and the same fringe benefits. Further, Grandfathered Marshallese employees must receive a wage, which is not less than the wage paid for equal work to U.S./third country employees. In contrast, local hire personnel newly employed after the effective date of the Compact may be paid a wage consistent with the minimum wage laws of the Marshall Islands, provided the minimum wage does not exceed the prevailing minimum wage in the United States, and the wage provides equal pay for equal work among such local hire personnel. Further, locally hired non-grandfathered Marshallese employees must receive a wage which is not less than the wage paid for equal work to any U.S./third country employees who are hired in the RMI; however, they may be paid a wage which is less than the wage(s) paid for equal work to grandfathered Marshallese employees and to U.S./third country employees hired outside the RMI. For purposes of interpreting this special provision, allowances/benefits, which relate to Foreign Service of employees hired outside the RMI (e.g., relocation/dislocation allowances, foreign pay differentials, transportation costs) are not considered to be part of the wages paid to such employees; and nothing herein requires that such Foreign Service allowances/benefits be paid to employees hired in the RMI.
H.9.3. SOFA Article IV, Utilization of Contractors and Employment of Labor. This article includes provisions dealing with (i) employment preference for citizens, nationals, and permanent resident aliens of the RMI, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), and of the U.S.; and
(ii) U.S. contractors use of best efforts to employee persons present in the RMI and FSM. In implementation of these provisions, the contractor shall give preference in hiring to citizens, nationals, and permanent resident aliens of the RMI, FSM, and the United States.
This includes dependents as defined in Article I, Section 2(d) (4) of the SOFA. The contractor shall not employ or continue employment of third country personnel as defined in Article I, Section 2(e) of the SOFA without the prior written permission of the Contracting
Officer. It is anticipated that permission to hire third country personnel will be given only in limited and exceptional circumstances.
Therefore, the contractor should rely on third country personnel as a labor source in performance of this contract only in the exceptional situation where qualified citizens, nationals, and permanent resident aliens of the RMI, FSM, and the United States are not available.
H.9.4. Marshallese citizens/nationals, as well as other employees, shall be given equal consideration for promotion to positions for which they are qualified.
H.10. APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES LAWS IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS:
H.10.1. Section 171 of Article Two, Title VII of the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985, PL 99-239, January 14, 1986, states:
Except as provided in this Compact or its related agreements, the application of the Laws of the United States to the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands by virtue of the Trusteeship Agreement ceases with respect to the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of
Micronesia as of the effective date of this Compact.
H.10.2. As a result of this provision, a number of United States laws which formerly applied in the Republic of the Marshall Islands no longer apply. Other laws, by virtue of extraterritorial application, provisions of the Compact, or requirements of the PWS, apply or have limited application to this contract. As examples, the contractor shall note the application, or limited application in some cases, of the following laws:
7 13
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
(1) For employees working within the United States (including Wake Island and Guam), the contractor shall comply with McNamara/OHara
Service Contract Act of 1965, as amended (41 U.S.C. 351 et.seq.); the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. 201 et.
seq.); and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 327-333). These laws do not apply to employees working in RMI.
(2) For employees recruited or hired in the United States, the contractor shall comply with the Vietnam Veterans Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1972, as amended (38 U.S.C. 2012) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Program (Executive Order 11246 dated 24 Sep
65). These laws do not apply to work which is performed outside the U.S. by employees recruited and hired outside the U.S. Application of the above laws to employees performing work on USAKA who were recruited or hired in the U.S. does not prohibit the contractor from establishing within this class of employees different pay rates or personnel policies based on skill levels, experience, longevity, or other factors wholly unrelated to the classification of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or veterans status. Nor does application of the above laws require the contractor to provide identical pay rates or personnel policies for employees exempt from coverage as provided to employees who are covered by these laws.
(3) For all employees working outside the United States, the contractor shall comply with the Defense Base Act (42 U.S.C. 1651 et.
seq.) as required by Section I Contract Clause, FAR 52.228-3 titled Workers Compensation, Insurance (Defense Base Act).
(4) For work performed in RMI, the contractor shall comply with the Environmental Protection Requirements of Section 161, Title One, Article VI of the Compact.
(5) For work performed in RMI, the contractor shall comply with the occupational safety and health standards, required by the
Occupational Safety and Health Standard Act, 29 U.S.C. 651 et. seq., which have been incorporated in the requirements of the PWS.
H.11. COMPLIANCE WITH THE RMI EMPLOYEE EQUAL BENEFITS LAW
H.11.1. The contractor should be aware that the "Marshall Islands Employment Equal Opportunity Act, 2017" is in effect. The stated purpose of this RMI law is "to ensure that all employees of a person or other entity doing business in the Republic of the Marshall
Islands are treated equally in regard to obtaining employee benefits." IAW Article IV, paragraph 4, of the SOFA this law does not apply to US personnel or third country contractor personnel employed by the US Armed forces or their contractors.
H.11.2. The law requires that any person or other entity doing businesses in the Republic of the Marshall Islands must offer all RMI employees the same type of employee benefits that any other employee in the RMI receives. The law itself does not require that any particular benefit be offered to any employee.
H.11.3. Under the law, if an employer offers any employee benefits such as medical, dental, vision, pharmaceutical (prescription drug) and life insurance and/or retirement or pension benefit to any employee at USAG-KA, that employer must offer the same type of benefits to all RMI employees within their employment at U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll. For example, if the contractor offers any of its employees working at USAG-KA a 401k retirement plan with up to a 5% employer match such a benefit must be offered to the RMI employee.
Further, if the employer offers a 401(k) retirement plan and with it an employer contribution match and the RMI employee does not wish to participate in a 401(k) account but rather has individual retirement account (IRA), the employer must offer the same match to the employee IRA as they would with the 401(k) plan. Employees have the option to start an IRA account at the time they might otherwise enroll in a 401(k) plan and enjoy the same employer match, if any.
H.11.4. Since RMI employees are afforded a national health care plan administered by the RMI the employer does not have to enroll the
RMI employee in the same health care plan offered to US or third country national contractor personnel. However, the employer must pay the equivalent portion of the employer contribution to the RMI employee a "supplemental health insurance plan" offered by the RMI if the
RMI employee wishes to enroll in the plan. If the employee chooses not to purchase the RMI supplemental health insurance policy the employer is not obligated to pay any portion of the premium of a supplemental policy.
H.11.5. If employee benefits offered by the employer change benefits offered to RMI employees must correspondingly mirror such changes.
Successful prosecutions of a violation of this law include civil penalties of not less than $5,000 nor more than $50,000 per violation.
H.12. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL: The contractor shall give local hire personnel (as defined by the SOFA) employed under the existing contract(s) on the effective date of the Compact the right of first refusal for employment in the same or comparable jobs.
H.13. SPECIAL EDUCATION:
H.13.1. The school system at the U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site (USAG-KA/RTS) is capable of providing only limited special education services to meet the needs of students with mild learning impairments and/or mild behavior disorders as defined by the
Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DODDS) Special Education Program. Formal programs or services are not available for students who have physical or mental impairments or who are seriously defective in speech, reading, or language development.
H.13.2. Based upon the foregoing limitations on special education capacity and capabilities at USAG-KA, the contractor shall meet the following requirements prior to entering into an irrevocable employment/relocation commitment or initiating travel of a dependent student to USAG-KA/RTS:

H.14.1. All on-site employees and their on-site authorized dependents are authorized round trip air travel to the nearest adequate medical or dental facility following medical/dental determination by appropriate on-site support authority that evacuation is necessary.
H.14.2. The remoteness and relatively small population of USAG-KA/RTS precludes extensive medical and dental facilities. Thus, the limited medical and dental facilities and staff dictate that only minimum essential treatment can be provided. This limitation should be taken into consideration prior to assigning personnel to Kwajalein who require frequent or special medical or dental treatment. The contractors pre-employment medical screening shall be sufficiently thorough to identify medical problems which would preclude assignment to Kwajalein.

Furthermore, the contractor shall keep the government apprised of any and all significant developments.
