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 (Wage Determination No. 2015-4427, Revision 32, effective December 3, 2025).

The wage determination applies to federal service contracts in South Carolina counties of Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester. It establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for over 200 occupational classifications across multiple categories, including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional positions, machine tool operations, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation. Wage rates range from $9.74 per hour for Waiter/Waitress (07260) to $48.27 per hour for multiple technical and instructional positions. All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week) for health and welfare, with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for certain compensable work. Additional benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service (three weeks after eight years, four weeks after 15 years), minimum eleven paid holidays annually, and specified hazardous pay differentials (8 percent for high-hazard work, 4 percent for low-hazard work). Computer professionals meeting specific exempt criteria are excluded from these determinations. Special provisions address night pay and Sunday pay differentials for air traffic controllers and weather observers, uniform allowance requirements ($3.35 per week or $0.67 per day maximum), and procedures for conformance requests of unlisted occupational classifications using Standard Form 1444.
