24540 - Beautician (Cosmetologist)                                             16.74


The journeyperson shall receive a percentage of the gross sales generated per week.  
Although such guarantees are stipulated, this does not exempt a contractor or 
subcontractor furnishing such services from compensating any of the employees named 
in such work at a rate of not less than the minimum wage specified in Section 
6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.  While there is no 
requirement that compensation be paid weekly, the wage provisions of the Act apply 
on a workweek basis.  Thus, in order to meet the wage requirements, an employee 
compensated wholly or in part on a commission basis must be paid an amount of not 
less than the applicable wage rate for all hours worked in each workweek without 
regard to her/him sales productivity, and this amount must be paid to her/him free 
and clear on the payday for that week.  If commission and other compensation 
allocable to a particular workweek are not sufficient to meet the wage rate for that 
workweek, the employer may not satisfy such requirement by averaging this 
compensation for weeks of higher sales productivity, or by adopting an offset method 
by which he/she pays the amount of the insufficiency but makes corresponding 
reduction in a subsequent workweek.

NOTE:  A contractor may not include the cost of fringe benefits, if provided, as a 
credit toward the monetary wages required by the commission rate structure set forth 
above.  A credit for tips may be taken in accordance with regulation 29 CFR Part 531 
under the Fair Labor Standards Act.  (Also, see Section 4.167 of 29 CFR Part 4).





____________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal 
Contractors, applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act for which 
the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 
2017.  If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees 
with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid 
sick leave each year. Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their 
own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to 
assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, 
injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for 
reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family 
to the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or 
stalking.  Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections 
under the EO is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Service 
Contract Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, 
and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. If a 
contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the contractor must pay all covered 
workers at least $13.30 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage 
determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in 
2025. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. 
Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under 
Executive Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

successor; 3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 after 20 years.  Length of service includes

communicated to the employees involved.)  (See 29 CFR 4.174)


** 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.
