THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because th~s wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Fo~example, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer ProgrammeroCcuPiltions for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA_wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures descr~bed in tbe conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary w i.de.Lyand ohange quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the ClPplication of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of:

(1) The application ef systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications;

(2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications;

(3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or

http://www.wdoLgov/wdol/scafiles/std/05-2103.txt[2/13/2015 12:51 :07 PM]

are only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordance, 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 orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and sUb,contractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaf f i rmat i va proof as to the actual cos.t), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof 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. Alinks to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL) Web site athttp://wdol.gov/.REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard Form1444 (SF 1444) )

Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a re.asonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Suchconformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished thefrin_gebenefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be initiated bythe contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es)of employees.

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 ofOccupa,tions" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insurethat duti.esrequested are not performed by a classification already listed in thewage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination.
