(b) If the contractor’s employees receive compensation for employment in excess of 8 hours in any workday and in excess of 80 hours in such 14-day period at a rate not less than 1½ times the regular rate at which the individual is employed, computed in accordance with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended.

822.305  Contract clause.

The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 852.222-70, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards–Nursing Home Care for Veterans, in solicitations and contracts for nursing home care for Veterans.  The contractor shall flow down this clause and insert in all subcontracts, at any tier.
