This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division for Massachusetts counties including Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk.

The wage determination (No. 2015-4047, Revision 34, effective 6/25/2026) establishes prevailing wage rates for over 200 occupational classifications applicable to service contracts awarded in the specified Massachusetts geographic area. Wage rates range from approximately $16.61 per hour for nursing assistants to $62.11 per hour for air crew training device instructors and flight instructors. The determination requires all occupations listed to receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $222.00 weekly/$962.00 monthly) under the Service Contract Act, with an additional $5.09 per hour available under Executive Order 13706 for paid sick leave. Specific occupational notes address computer professionals (requiring minimum $27.63 per hour and meeting defined compensation criteria under 29 U.S.C. 213), air traffic controllers and weather observers (with night pay and Sunday differentials of 10-25%), hazardous materials differential pay (4-8% based on hazard level), and uniform allowance reimbursement at $3.35 per week. The determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations, Fifth Edition (September 2015), and includes procedures for contractor conformance requests via Standard Form 1444 when unlisted classifications are required, with wage determinations serving as the binding prevailing wage for all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act in these jurisdictions.
