What happens when an additional wage classification is required?
In instances where the subgrantee has determined that the DOL wage determination site does not list a job classification or classifications that will be required to complete the project, DOL requires that a formal request for an additional classification (s) be made to DOL through the Contracting Officer (DHCR). A DOL wage classification form (SF1444) will be on the DHCR website along with the website link to the DOL instructions for the form. The form is filled out by the subgrantee and sent to DHCR It is DHCR’s responsibility as the contracting officer to review and forward the form to DOL. DOL has indicated that the request/approval turnaround time will be approximately (30) days from receipt by DOL. The subgrantee will be notified by DHCR of approval /disapproval or requests for additional information by DOL.
