ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

HEALTH & WELFARE: \$2.15 an hour or \$86.00 a week or \$372.67 a month

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a
contractor or successor; 3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 after 15 years.
Length of service includes the whole span of continuous 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. (Reg. 29 CFR 4.173)

HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year\'s Day,
Martin Luther King Jr.\'s Birthday, Washington\'s Birthday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans\' Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (A contractor may substitute for
any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a
plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)

THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE PARENTHESES AFTER THEM RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING
BENEFITS (as

numbered):

1\) Does not apply to employees employed in a bona fide executive,
administrative, or professional capacity as defined and delineated in 29
CFR 541. (See CFR 4.156)

2\) APPLICABLE TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ONLY - NIGHT DIFFERENTIAL: An
employee is entitled to pay for all work performed between the hours of
6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. at the rate of basic pay plus a night pay
differential amounting to 10 percent of the rate of basic pay.

3\) 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).

HEALTH & WELFARE & PENSION PAYMENTS:

These payments are due on all hours \"paid for\" up to a maximum 40
hours per week. Such

benefits do not stop, but continue to accrue and are paid to employees
while on sick leave,

holiday, vacation, etc. For example:

a\. An employee who works four days, 40 hours per week is entitled to 40
hours of health &

welfare and pension payments. If an employee works three days, 12 hours
per day, then such

employee is entitled to 36 hours of health and welfare and pension
benefits.

b\. An employee who works 32 hours and also receives eight hours of
holiday pay is entitled

to the maximum of 40 hours of health & welfare and pension payments in
that work week. If

the employee works more than 32 hours and also receives eight hours of
holiday pay, the

employee is still only entitled to the maximum of 40 hours of health and
welfare and

pension payments.

c\. If an employee is off work for two weeks on vacation and receives 80
hours of vacation

pay, the employee must also receive 80 hours of health and welfare and
pension benefits

during the vacation period. However, if an employee is entitled to two
weeks paid vacation

but does not take a vacation and works the full 52 weeks in the year,
the employee is

entitled to 54 weeks of pay during the year (i.e., 52 weeks for work
plus two weeks

vacation pay) but is due health and welfare and pension payments for
only 52 weeks during

the year.

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 ordinance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This
includes work such as

screening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordance,
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 regrading 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
ordance, (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 ordance, 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 ordance, 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.

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. Such conformed classes of employees
shall be paid the

monetary wages and furnished the fringe benefits as are determined. Such
conforming

process shall be initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of
contract work by

such unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage
rate, and/or

fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the
contract. {See Section

4.6 (C)(vi)} 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 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 Wage and Hour
Division, Employment

Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, for review. (See
section 4.6(b)(2) of

Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).

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 decision to the
contractor.

6\) The contractor informs the affected employees.

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\"

(the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure 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.

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
