Pay in Lieu of Benefits Cost Post

The McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA) is a federal government act that
directs how employees who work on service contracts are paid. It establishes standards
for wage rates, health and welfare, vacation, and holidays. The SCA requires that an
employee receive a minimum hourly value of health and welfare benefits. If the
employer does not provide any health and welfare benefits, or the provided benefits do
not meet the minimum value, the employer is obligated to provide pay in lieu of benefits.

Setup of the SCA functionality requires a role of Administrator.
