Wage rates range from approximately $16.13 to $72.66 per hour depending on the classification and experience level. The document specifies that all listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $222.00 per week/$962.00 per month), with an alternative rate of $5.89 per hour ($283.60 per week/$882.27 per month) for SCA-covered contracts.
