THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED

FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b) this wage determination does not apply to any employee who individually qualifes as a bona fde executive adminisrative or professional employee as defned in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because mos Computer Sysem Analyss and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a rate not less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 per week) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals (29 C.F.R. 541.

400) wage rates may not be lised on this wage determination for all occupations within those job families. In addition because this wage determination may not lis a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds $27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees.

For example if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs duties within the scope of one of the Computer Sysems Analys or Computer Programmer occupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate then the wage rate for that employee mus be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determination.

Additionally because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer indusry job titles are not determinative of the application of the computer professional exemption. Therefore the exemption applies only to computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consiss of:

(1) The application of sysems analysis techniques and procedures including consulting with users to determine hardware software or sysem functional specifcations;

(2) The design development documentation analysis creation tesing or modifcation of computer sysems or programs including prototypes based on and related to user or sysem design specifcations;

(3) The design documentation tesing creation or modifcation of computer programs related to machine operating sysems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties the performance of which requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER

OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If you work at night as part of a regular tour of duty you will earn a night diferential and receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am.

If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of your regularly scheduled workweek you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sunday premium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime (i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is considered overtime work).

** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **

An 8 percent diferential is applicable to employees employed in a position that represents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to ordnance explosives and incendiary materials.

** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF

OCCUPATIONS **

The duties of employees under job titles lised 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 ofcer shall require that any class of service employee which is not lised herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e. the work to be performed is not performed by any classifcation lised in the wage determination) be classifed by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable relationship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlised classifcations and the classifcations lised in the wage determination (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 unlised class(es) of employees (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a fnal determination of conformed classifcation wage rate and/or fringe benefts which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classifcation from the frs day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classifcation. Failure to pay such unlised employees the compensation agreed upon by the interesed parties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2) (v)). 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 reques is as follows:

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

2) After contract award the contractor prepares a written report lising in order the proposed classifcation title(s) a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classifcation(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 ofcer no later than 30 days after such unlised class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contracting ofcer 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 U.S.

Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).

4) Within 30 days of receipt the Wage and Hour Division approves modifes or disapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting ofcer or notifes the contracting ofcer that additional time will be required to process the reques.

5) The contracting ofcer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each afected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy of such determination or it shall be posed as a part of the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

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

When preparing a conformance reques the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" should be used to compare job defnitions to ensure that duties requesed are not performed by a classifcation already lised in the wage determination. Remember it is not the job title but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an esablished wage determination.

Conformances may not be used to artifcially split combine or subdivide classifcations lised in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
