If this contract is covered by the EO the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year. Employees must be permi ed to use paid sick leave for their own illness injury or other health-related needs including preven ve care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill injured or has other health-related needs including preven ve care; or for reasons resul ng from or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is the vic m of domes c violence sexual assault or stalking. Addi onal informa on on contractor requirements and worker protec ons under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.60 per hour up to 40 hours per week or $184.00 per week or $797.33 per month

HEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.23 per hour up to 40 hours per week or $169.20 per week or $733.20 per month*

*This rate is to be used only when compensa ng employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706 Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obliga ons for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vaca on a er 1 year of service with a contractor or successor 3 weeks a er 10 years and 4 weeks a er 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of con nuous service with the present contractor or successor wherever employed and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility.

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at sec on 8(b) this wage determina on does not apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide execu ve administra ve or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Because most Computer System Analysts 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 listed on this wage determina on for all occupa ons within those job families. In addi on because this wage determina on may not list a wage rate for some or all occupa ons within those job families if the survey data indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupa on 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 du es within the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmer occupa ons for which this wage determina on does not specify an SCA wage rate then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with the conformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wage determina on.

Addi onally because job tles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry job tles are not determina ve of the applica on of the computer professional exemp on. Therefore the exemp on applies only to computer employees who sa sfy the compensa on requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The applica on of systems analysis techniques and procedures including consul ng with users to determine hardware so ware or system func onal specifica ons;

(2) The design development documenta on analysis crea on tes ng or modifica on of computer systems or programs including prototypes based on and related to user or system design specifica ons;

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 addi on where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determina on shall (in the absence of a bona fide collec ve bargaining agreement providing for a different amount or the furnishing of contrary affirma ve 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).

Conformance Process:

The contrac ng 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 classifica on listed in the wage determina on) be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable rela onship (i.e. appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted classifica ons and the classifica ons listed in the wage determina on (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be ini ated 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 determina on of conformed classifica on wage rate and/or fringe benefits which shall be paid to all employees performing in the classifica on from the first day of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classifica on. Failure to pay such unlisted employees the compensa on agreed upon by the interested par es and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroac ve to the date such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a viola on of the Act and this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When mul ple wage determina ons are included in a contract a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wage determina on 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 iden fies the need for a conformed occupa on(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).

2) A er contract award the contractor prepares a wri en report lis ng in order the proposed classifica on tle(s) a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for each proposed classifica on(s) job descrip on(s) and ra onale for proposed wage rate(s) including informa on regarding the agreement or disagreement of the authorized representa ve of the employees involved or where there is no authorized representa ve the employees themselves. This report should be submi ed to the contrac ng officer no later than 30 days a er such unlisted class(es) of employees performs any contract work.

3) The contrac ng officer reviews the proposed ac on and promptly submits a report of the ac on together with the agency's recommenda ons and per nent informa on including the posi on 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 modifies or disapproves the ac on via transmi al to the agency contrac ng officer or no fies the contrac ng officer that addi onal me will be required to process the request.

5) The contrac ng officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to the contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a wri en copy of such determina on or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determina on (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

Informa on required by the Regula ons must be submi ed on SF-1444 or bond paper.

When preparing a conformance request the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupa ons"" should be used to compare job defini ons to ensure that du es requested are not performed by a classifica on already listed in the wage determina on. Remember it is not the job tle but the required tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage determina on.

Conformances may not be used to ar ficially split combine or subdivide classifica ons listed in the wage determina on (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
