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

1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: This wage determination does not apply to any individual

employed in a bona fide executive administrative or professional capacity as

defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. (See 41 C.F.R. 6701(3)). Because most Computer

Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers who are paid at least $27.63 per hour (or

at least $684 per week if paid on a salary or fee basis) likely qualify as exempt

computer professionals under 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1) and 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(17) this wage

determination may not include wage rates for all occupations within those job

families. In such instances a conformance will be necessary if there are nonexempt

employees in these job families working on the contract.

Job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computer industry and are not

determinative of whether an employee is an exempt computer professional. To be

exempt computer employees who satisfy the compensation requirements must also have

a primary duty that consists of:

(1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures including

consulting with users to determine hardware software or system functional

specifications;

(2) The design development documentation analysis creation testing or

modification of computer systems or programs including prototypes based on and

related to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design documentation testing creation or modification of computer

programs related to machine operating systems; or

(4) A combination of the aforementioned duties the performance of which

requires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).

Any computer employee who meets the applicable compensation requirements and the

above duties test qualifies as an exempt computer professional under both section

13(a)(1) and section 13(a)(17) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. (Field Assistance

Bulletin No. 2006-3 (Dec. 14 2006)). Accordingly this wage determination will not

apply to any exempt computer employee regardless of which of these two exemptions is

utilized.

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 differential

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 differential 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. This includes work such as

screening blending dying mixing and pressing of sensitive ordnance explosives

and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide black powder and photoflash powder.

All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization

modification renovation demolition and maintenance operations on sensitive

ordnance explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-grading

and cleaning of artillery ranges.

A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position that

represents a low degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity to

ordnance (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materials

which involves potential injury such as laceration of hands face or arms of the

employee engaged in the operation irritation of the skin minor burns and the like;

minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. All

operations involving unloading storage and hauling of ordnance explosive and

incendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentials

are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency for

ordnance explosives and incendiary material differential pay.

** 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 (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 paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first day

of work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failure

to pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interested

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 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 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 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 Division's decision to the

contractor.

6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copy

of such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See

29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).

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"" 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 (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1))."
