All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) or $962.00 monthly, plus two weeks paid vacation after one year of service (three weeks after ten years, four weeks after fifteen years), and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Computer professionals, air traffic controllers, and weather observers have special compensation requirements and night/Sunday pay provisions noted. Employees in hazardous positions receive 4-8 percent pay differentials. Uniform allowances are standardized at $3.35 weekly ($0.67 daily) for cleaning and maintenance, though "wash and wear" uniforms do not require reimbursement. The determination includes a conformance process requiring contractors to seek Wage and Hour Division approval for unlisted occupational classifications prior to contract performance.
