Wage Determination Summary

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 (Wage Determination No. 2015-5419, Revision 31, dated December 3, 2025). The determination applies to service contracts in Colorado counties including Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Park.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for 280+ occupation classifications across multiple job categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, protective services, and technical occupations. All listed occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (or $222 weekly/$962 monthly) for health and welfare, with an alternative rate of $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for employees covered by both that EO and SCA contracts. Additional benefits include 2-4 weeks paid vacation based on tenure, a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually, and hazard pay differentials of 4-8% for ordnance and explosives work. Uniform allowance reimbursement is set at $3.35 per week. Computer employees with exempt professional status may be excluded; air traffic controllers and weather observers receive night/Sunday pay premiums. The determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015) for job duty definitions and establishes a formal conformance process via Standard Form 1444 for unlisted occupations requiring wage determination before contract performance.
