The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the <br />following standards as compliance: <br />The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an <br />adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual <br />cost of the uniforms. In addition where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made <br />the responsibility of the employee all contractors and subcontractors subject to <br />this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining <br />agreement providing for a different amount or the furnishing of contrary <br />affirmative proof as to the actual cost) reimburse all employees for such cleaning <br />and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However in <br />those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear"" <br />materials may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments and do <br />not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning daily washing or commercial <br />laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms <br />of the Government contract by the contractor by law or by the nature of the work <br />there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs. <br />** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS ** <br />The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the <br />""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"" Fifth Edition (Revision 1) <br />dated September 2015 unless otherwise indicated. <br />https://beta.sam.gov/wage-determination/2015-5558/10/document 7/2/2019 <br />
