Can someone direct me to any guidance regarding whether the Service Contract Act applies to CONUS Contractor Employees who are working on a project OCONUS. I am curious if these contractor employees can earn overtime premiums when working Overtime OCONUS - over 40 hours/week.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

To make a long story shorter, from said website...

"What geographical areas are covered under the SCA?

The SCA applies to all work performed within the United States. For purposes of the SCA, the term "United States" includes any State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Outer Continental Shelf lands as defined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, American Samoa, Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Island, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The SCA does not apply to work performed in any other territory under the jurisdiction of the United States or any United States base or possession within a foreign country. Also, the SCA does not apply to work performed on ships operating in international or foreign waters. If a portion of the contract services is performed within the United States and a portion is performed outside the United States, the SCA applies to the portion performed in the United States."
