ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS: 

HEALTH & WELFARE: $5.92 per hour, up to 40 hours per week, or $236.80 per week or 
$1,026.13 per month

VACATION: 1 week of paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or 
successor; 2 weeks after 2 years; 3 weeks after 10 years; and 4 weeks after 20 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 eleven paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin 
Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth 
National Independence 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)


NOTE:  The fringe benefits listed in this determination are based on a standard 8-
hour workday an 40-hour work week.  Cash equivalent fringe benefits may be paid in 
accordance with the principles discussed in Subpart B of Regulations, 29 CFR Part 4.


HEALTH & WELFARE & PENSON PAYMENTS: 

These payments are due on all hours """"paid for"""" up to a maximum of 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 and 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 and 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 
health and welfare and pension payment.

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 
they year (i.e., 52 weeks for work plus two weeks of vacation pay) the employee is 
due health and welfare and pension payments for only 52 weeks during the year.


VACATION AND HOLIDAY PAYMENTS:

Regardless of the number of hours in an employee's scheduled workday or work week, 
holiday pay for one day is not required to exceed the equivalent of eight hours pay, 
and vacation pay for one week is not required to exceed the equivalent of 40 hours 
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.
