Wage Determination Summary

This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act (SCA) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division. The document applies to federal service contracts in Puerto Rico municipalities including Aguadilla, Aibonito, Barceloneta, and numerous other locations. The wage determination (No. 2015-5707, Revision 28, effective 12/03/2025) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for over 200 occupational classifications spanning administrative, automotive, food service, furniture maintenance, health, information technology, instructional, technical, protective service, recreation, and transportation occupations.

All listed occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits including health and welfare at $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly or $222.00 per week), with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour for EO 13706 covered contracts ($203.60 per week or $882.27 monthly). Employees are entitled to three weeks paid vacation after one year of service and a minimum of twelve paid holidays annually. Additional benefits include an 8% hazard pay differential for high-degree hazardous work and 4% differential for lower-degree hazardous work involving explosives and incendiary materials. Uniform allowance provisions require contractors to furnish uniforms without cost or reimburse employees at $3.35 per week ($0.67 per day) for cleaning and maintenance. The document includes special footnotes for computer professionals exempting certain positions from wage determination applicability and provisions for air traffic controllers and weather observers requiring night pay and Sunday pay differentials. Contractors must submit conformance requests (SF-1444) for unlisted occupational classifications requiring wage rate determinations within 30 days of contract award.
