PAY EQUITY <br />The GRANTEE agrees to ensure that "similarly employed" individuals in its workforce are compensated <br />as equals, consistent with the following: <br />A. Employees are "similarly employed" if the individuals work for the same employer, the <br />performance of the job requires comparable skill, effort, and responsibility, and the jobs are <br />performed under similar working conditions. Job titles alone are not determinative of whether <br />employees are similarly employed; <br />B. GRANTEE may allow differentials in compensation for its workers if the differentials are based in <br />good faith and on any of the following: <br />A seniority system; a merit system; a system that measures earnings by quantity or quality <br />of production; a bona fide job -related factor or factors; or a bona fide regional difference in <br />compensation levels; and/or <br />ii. A bona fide job -related factor or factors may include, but not be limited to, education, <br />training, or experience that is: Consistent with business necessity; not based on or derived <br />from a gender -based differential; and accounts for the entire differential; and/or <br />iii. A bona fide regional difference in compensation level must be: Consistent with business <br />necessity; not based on or derived from a gender -based differential; and account for the <br />entire differential. <br />This Grant Agreement may be terminated by COMMERCE, if COMMERCE or the Department of <br />Enterprise Services determines that the GRANTEE is not in compliance with this Section. <br />30. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES <br />Political activity of GRANTEE employees and officers are limited by the Campaign Disclosure and <br />Contribution provisions of RCW 42.17a and the Federal Hatch Act, 5 USC 1501 - 1508. <br />No funds may be used for working for or against ballot measures or for or against the candidacy of <br />any person for public office. <br />31. PREVAILING WAGE LAW <br />The GRANTEE certifies that all subgrantees/subcontractors performing work on the Project shall <br />comply with State Prevailing Wages on Public Works, RCW 39.12, as applicable to the Project <br />funded by this Grant Agreement, including, but not limited to, the filing of the "Statement of Intent to <br />Pay Prevailing Wages" and "Affidavit of Wages Paid" as required by RCW 39.12.040. The GRANTEE <br />shall maintain records sufficient to evidence compliance with RCW 39.12 and shall make such <br />records available for COMMERCE's review upon request. The GRANTEE is advised to consult the <br />Industrial Statistician at the Washington Department of Labor and Industries to determine whether <br />prevailing wages must be paid. COMMERCE is not responsible for determining whether prevailing <br />wage applies to this Project or for any prevailing wage payments that may be required by law. <br />23 <br />
