11 - Wage Determinations.pdf

These are Service Contract Act (SCA) wage determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for three separate geographic areas in Virginia. Each determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits that contractors must pay employees on federal service contracts within their respective regions.

The three wage determinations cover: (1) Virginia Counties of King George (Wage Determination No. 2015-4329, Revision 34); (2) Virginia Counties of Accomack and Northampton (Wage Determination No. 2015-4327, Revision 34); and (3) Virginia Counties of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania (Wage Determination No. 2015-4287, Revision 37). Each determination includes extensive occupation codes and titles with corresponding hourly wage rates. The occupations span administrative, clerical, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, health, information technology, instructional, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective service, recreation, stevedoring, technical, transportation, and miscellaneous categories. All listed occupations receive health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, $222 weekly, or $962 monthly) or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13786 ($283.60 weekly or $882.27 monthly). Additional benefits include vacation provisions (2 weeks after 1 year, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 15 years), minimum 11 paid holidays annually, and hazardous duty pay differentials of 4% to 8% for applicable positions. Conformance procedures require contractors to classify unlisted employees by providing proposed classifications with Federal Grade Equivalency and job descriptions to the Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division for approval within 30 days.
