B03_Wage_Rate_Determination_-_Tennessee.pdf

This document is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration, containing prevailing wage rates for federal service contracts in Tennessee. The register identifies three separate wage determination areas within Tennessee, each with distinct occupation codes, job titles, and hourly wage rates applicable to contracts subject to the Service Contract Act.

The wage determinations establish minimum hourly rates ranging from approximately $10.54 to $51.13 per hour across various occupational classifications, including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, mechanics and maintenance, materials handling, personal needs, plant operations, protective services, recreation, stevedoring, technical occupations, and transportation operations. All occupations listed receive fringe benefits including health and welfare compensation of $5.55 per hour (or $203.60 per hour under Executive Order 13706 conditions), vacation accrual based on length of service, eleven paid holidays annually, and hazardous duty differentials of 4 percent to 8 percent where applicable. The determinations note Executive Order 13706 requirements for paid sick leave and Executive Order 13658 minimum wage thresholds of $13.30 per hour for covered workers. Special provisions apply to computer employees, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and positions requiring uniform allowances. All wage determinations were last revised on December 3, 2025, and contractors must comply with conformance procedures outlined in 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2) for unlisted occupational classifications.
