At Ez8a, we specialize in providing comprehensive support to our clients in navigating the complexities of government contracts subject to the Service Contract Act (SCA). Our dedicated team of experts is here to assist you with all the paperwork and procedural requirements involved in submitting a Request for Equitable Adjustments (REA). Vendors that are awarded contracts subject to the Service Contact Act (SCA) must pay their employees who work on the contract at the Department of Labor’s (DOL) prevailing wage and fringe benefits (at a min). The DOL generally updates Wage Determinations (WD) (including fringe benefits) once a year. For multi-year contracts, the unilateral contract modification to exercise the option should also include a copy of the current rates, which usually have changed. At this point, the vendor needs to now pay their employees at the new rates. If the vendor wants to be “made whole,” they then need to submit a request for equitable adjustment (REA) to the CO. When dealing with prevailing wage contracts, it is crucial not to let them go for multiple years without getting your rate adjustments, as you may not be able to retroactively claim them. We stay up to date on the Department of Labor’s prevailing wage and fringe benefits determinations (WD), which can vary not just by state but also by county, ensuring that your contract remains compliant and your rates are accurately adjusted. Our REA service will take you through the process of getting your rates increased to the latest WDs and assure you that you are billing the most allowed by the SCA and all current WDs.
