SCA Compliance Consulting for Federal Contractors
The Service Contract Act (SCA) requires federal contractors to pay specific wages and fringe benefits based on wage determinations. As a former DOL Wage & Hour Investigator, I help contractors ensure full compliance and avoid costly violations.
What Is SCA Compliance?
SCA compliance means meeting the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act’s requirements on covered federal service contracts — paying the correct wage determination and fringe benefits for each labor category, keeping accurate records, and meeting contract-specific notice and recordkeeping obligations. Contractors who fall short face back wages, contract withholding, and in serious cases debarment from future federal contracts.
What SCA Requires
Contractors must comply with:
- Wage determinations
- Fringe benefits
- Health & welfare requirements

Contractors often face issues with:
