Attachment 3_Wage Determination.pdf

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 employees in Mississippi counties including Alcorn, Calhoun, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Clay, Itawamba, Lafayette, Lee, Lowndes, Monroe, Oktibbeha, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Union, and Webster. The wage determination (No. 2015-5157, Revision 29, effective March 30, 2026) applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act awarded in this geographic area.

The determination specifies hourly wage rates for over 200 occupation classifications organized by occupational category, ranging from administrative support positions (e.g., Accounting Clerk I at $17.07/hour) to technical and specialized roles (e.g., Registered Nurse IV at $47.11/hour, Nuclear Medicine Technologist at $37.11/hour). All listed occupations receive standardized fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour for health and welfare (up to 40 hours weekly, equaling $222.00 per week or $962.00 monthly), plus two weeks paid vacation after one year of service and three weeks after ten years, and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Computer-related occupations include exemption notes regarding Fair Labor Standards Act professional status. The determination includes provisions for night pay and Sunday premium compensation for air traffic controllers and weather observers, hazardous pay differentials ranging from four to eight percent, and uniform allowance standards. Contractors must comply with Executive Orders 13706 (paid sick leave) and 13658 (minimum wage adjustments) for applicable contract awards, and may request additional occupation classifications through SF-1444 conformance procedures when unlisted positions are needed.
