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.

The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in
the

\"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations\", Fifth Edition, April
2006,

unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the
Internet. A

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) and computes a proposed rate).

2\) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report
listing in order

proposed classification title), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for
each

proposed classification), job description), and rationale for proposed
wage

rate), 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.
