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. The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees in four Massachusetts counties: Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk (Wage Determination No. 2015-4847, Revision 35, effective 8/13/2026).

The wage determination specifies hourly rates for 300+ occupation classifications ranging from administrative and clerical roles to technical, health, skilled trades, and protective service positions. Rates vary by occupation level and specialty; for example, Administrative Support and Clerical Occupations start at $19.60 (Customer Service Representative I) and reach $48.99 (Administrative Assistant), while Health Occupations range from $16.61 (Nursing Assistant I) to $58.56 (Nuclear Medicine Technologist). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, or $236.80 per week), with an additional $5.42 per hour health and welfare benefit under Executive Order 13706. The document includes special provisions for computer professionals exempt from certain Fair Labor Standards Act requirements if meeting specific compensation thresholds of at least $27.63 per hour; air traffic controllers and weather observers receiving night pay and Sunday premiums; and an 8% hazard pay differential for ordnance and explosive materials work, with a 4% differential for lower-hazard ordnance operations. Contractors must provide uniforms at no cost to employees or reimburse $1.35 per week for cleaning. The determination includes conformance procedures requiring contractors to request authorization for unlisted classifications through Standard Form 1444 and applies to all federal service contracts awarded on or after the revision date.
