If thiscontract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provideemployees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hoursthey work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for theirown illness, injury or other health-related needs, includingpreventive care; to assist a family member (or person who islike family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has otherhealth-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasonsresulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who islike family to the employee) who is a victim of, domesticviolence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional informationon contractor requirements and worker protections under the EOis available at whd/govcontracts.Unlisted classifications needed for work not included withinthe scope of the classifications listed may be added afteraward only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classificationand wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for thecited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wagedetermination. The classifications are listed in alphabeticalorder of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particularrate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local),a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate(weighted union average rate).Union Rate IdentifiersA four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosedin dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or"UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate wereprevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier ofthe union which prevailed in the survey for thisclassification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198indicates the local union number or district council numberwhere applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number,005 in the example, is an internal number used in processingthe wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of themost current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1,2014.Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all ratechanges in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governingthis classification and rate.Survey Rate IdentifiersClassifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate thatno one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey andthe published rate is derived by computing a weighted averagerate based on all the rates reported in the survey for thatclassification. As this weighted average rate includes allrates reported in the survey, it may include both union andnon-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicatesthe rates are survey rates based on a weighted averagecalculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicatesthe State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on whichthese classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007in the example, is an internal number used in producing thewage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completiondate for the classifications and rates under that identifier.Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until anew survey is conducted.Union Average Rate IdentifiersClassification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicatethat no single majority rate prevailed for thoseclassifications; however, 100% of the data reported for theclassifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-001008/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted unionaverage rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 inthe example, is an internal number used in producing the wagedetermination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion datefor the classifications and rates under that identifier.A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January ofeach year, to reflect a weighted average of the currentnegotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate isbased. ---------------------------------------------------------------- WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This canbe:* an existing published wage determination* a survey underlying a wage determination* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter* a conformance (additional classification and rate) rulingOn survey related matters, initial contact, including requestsfor summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and HourRegional Office for the area in which the survey was conductedbecause those Regional Offices have responsibility for theDavis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initialcontact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.)and 3.) should be followed.With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formalprocess described here, initial contact should be with theBranch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 202102.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then aninterested party (those affected by the action) can requestreview and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210The request should be accompanied by a full statement of theinterested party's position and by any information (wagepayment data, project description, area practice material,etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, aninterested party may appeal directly to the AdministrativeReview Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 202104.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.================================================================ END OF GENERAL DECISIONSee attached document: P03 Aethon J_A Redacted.See attached document: Spec 101123 Tackboards.See attached document: Sketch 1_Pharmacy Compounding Area.See attached document: 01-A901_SIGNAGE_PLAN.See attached document: 01-Signage_Spec_10_14_00.End of Document ................
