Summary

This is a Wage Determination document (No. 2015-4427, Revision 32, dated December 3, 2025) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration for federal service contracts in South Carolina counties (Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester). The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications, organized by occupation code categories ranging from administrative support and clerical work through transportation and miscellaneous occupations. Wage rates vary significantly by occupation level, ranging from approximately $9.74 per hour for waitstaff/waitress positions to $48.27 per hour for positions such as air crew training device instructors and maintenance test pilots.

All listed occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits including health and welfare at $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, or $222.00 per week/$962.00 monthly), plus vacation accrual (2 weeks after 1 year of service, 3 weeks after 8 years, 4 weeks after 15 years), and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals (footnote 1), air traffic controllers and weather observers (footnote 2 with night/Sunday pay premiums), hazardous duty positions (4-8 percent differentials for ordnance and explosives work), and uniform allowances ($3.35 per week for cleaning and maintenance). Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 impose additional paid sick leave requirements and minimum wage thresholds for applicable contracts. Contractors must submit SF-1444 forms for any unlisted occupational classifications requiring wage determination conformance before contract performance begins.
