I am a government contractor. Are you required to pay fringe on holiday hours in NM or just on regular/straight hours?

Fringe is just paid on hours worked, not holidays. This falls under the Service Contract Act.

Well, this could be interesting.

I have a grand total of one SCA contract with one employee and have paid him the weekly fringe.

I did not realize I could pay him less when he takes vacation, sick leave (not required by the SCA) or a holiday.

That might make up for the double time I have to pay when the President declares a holiday and he still has to work.

Actually it's an hourly fringe rate and the base rate is $3.16 an hour. Unless the contract is governed by a cba and I have several which they do get paid for holidays, etc.... then it is strickley for hours worked.
