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 South Carolina Counties of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester (Wage Determination No. 2015-4427, Revision 33, effective 5/13/2026).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications organized by occupational code and job title. Wage rates range from $9.74 per hour (Waiter/Waitress) to $48.76 per hour (Registered Nurse III, Anesthetist). The determination covers 99 major occupational categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, healthcare, information technology, protective services, and skilled trades. All occupations listed receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $222.00 per week) under standard health and welfare provisions, with an additional $5.09 per hour rate available under Executive Order 13706 for paid sick leave compliance. Specific footnotes apply to computer employees (Footnote 1), air traffic controllers and weather observers (Footnote 2), and various technical occupations. The determination includes provisions for hazardous duty differentials (8% and 4%), night pay and Sunday premium differentials for air traffic controllers, uniform allowance requirements, and vacation benefits (2 weeks after 1 year of service, 3 weeks after 8 years, 4 weeks after 15 years). Contractors performing service work in this geographic area are required to pay employees at these established rates as a condition of federal contract awards.
