2015-5377 Wage Determinations.pdf

This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for South Dakota counties (Bennett, Butte, Corson, Dewey, Fall River, Gregory, Haakon, Harding, Jackson, Jones, Lawrence, Lyman, Mellette, Oglala Lakota, Perkins, Stanley, Todd, and Tripp/Ziebach). The wage determination (2015-5377, Revision 31, effective 5/13/2026) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications, ranging from administrative and clerical positions to specialized trades, healthcare, information technology, and protective services roles.

The document lists approximately 400 occupation codes with corresponding hourly wage rates, which contractors must pay to employees performing work under Service Contract Act-covered federal contracts in this region. All listed occupations receive health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, or $222.00 weekly/$962.00 monthly) plus an additional $5.09 per hour for contracts also covered by Executive Order 13706 ($283.60 weekly/$1,202.27 monthly). Additional benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, eleven paid holidays annually, and night pay/Sunday pay differentials for applicable positions. The determination includes hazardous pay differentials (8 percent and 4 percent) for certain ordnance and explosive-related work, uniform allowances of $1.35 per week for maintenance, and references to the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015) for job duty definitions. Contractors must follow conformance procedures outlined in 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(i) for any unlisted occupational classifications requiring wage rate authorization.
