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 $4.25 per week (or $.85
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.

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

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.

conformed occupations) 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  classifications),  job descriptions),  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. Conformance's may not be used to artificially
split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.
