Register of Wage Determinations Under the Service Contract Act

This document is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division. It establishes prevailing wage rates for federal service contracts in Texas counties including Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise (Wage Determination No. 2015-5231, Revision 31, effective December 3, 2025).

The wage determination lists over 200 occupational classifications across multiple categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information and arts, information technology, instructional occupations, laundry and dry cleaning, machine tool operations, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, and technical occupations. Each classification specifies an hourly wage rate ranging from $12.53 to $56.27 per hour. All occupations listed receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly, $222.00 weekly, or $962.00 monthly). Computer-related positions marked with footnote (see 1) are exempt under specified conditions related to compensation and primary duties involving systems analysis, design, development, and testing. Air traffic controllers and weather observers (footnote see 2) receive night pay differentials and Sunday premium pay. The determination also addresses hazardous pay differentials (8 percent for high-hazard work and 4 percent for low-hazard work), uniform allowance requirements ($3.35 per week for maintenance when applicable), vacation accrual (2-4 weeks based on tenure), and eleven minimum paid holidays annually. Contractors must comply with Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 regarding paid sick leave and minimum wage requirements for employees performing contract work.
