Alpha HR - Alpha HR

You obviously do not add the wage grade to the product of lines transcribed. The wage grade is paid to produce the lines. However, Alpha goes above and beyond the wage grade and pays a line rate if the line rate is higher than the wage grade. This benefits our staff members who live in rural areas where the wage grade is low. You add the wage grade (or line rate if it is higher) to the h&w, vacation, holiday, and EO 13706 rate.

The reason you can't give a specific wage rate is because of several factors. The individual may well work on an account that is not governed by the SCA. Not all federal contracts are governed by the SCA. If the MT did work on a non-SCA account, it changes the pay rates based upon the percentage of work done on these accounts. If there was a holiday during the period, it increases the pay rate. If the wage rate or h&w rate has changed, this must also be tracked but it does not take effect immediately. The new rate takes effect once the contract they are working on renews. Individuals are paid vacation based on how long they have been with the company which adds yet another variable.

There is no obfuscation. If you work on these contracts it is impossible to provide a set price as it is constantly in flux due to the variables listed above. If you are given a fixed rate, suffice it to say that you are not being paid properly.
