Register of Wage Determinations Under the Service Contract Act

This is a wage determination document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration for federal service contracts in specified Texas counties (Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina, and Wilson). The determination (2015-5253, Revision 29, effective 5/13/2026) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits that contractors must pay employees performing work on federal contracts in the designated area.

The document lists hourly wage rates for over 200 occupational classifications across multiple service categories, including administrative support, food preparation, health occupations, information and arts, technical occupations, transportation and mobile equipment operations, and miscellaneous occupations. Rates range from approximately $11.49 to $50.21 per hour depending on position and experience level. All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, or $222.00 per week) for health and welfare, with an additional $5.09 per hour for health and welfare under Executive Order 13786. The determination includes special provisions for computer professionals, air traffic controllers and weather observers (with night pay and Sunday premiums), hazardous pay differentials (4% or 8% depending on hazard level), and uniform allowance requirements. Employees are entitled to two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after five years, and four weeks after fifteen years, plus eleven paid holidays annually. The document references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations and provides procedures for conformance requests when unlisted job classifications are required.
