This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for Louisiana counties of Grant and Rapides (Wage Determination No. 2015-5175, Revision 30, effective 5/13/2026).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees across 99 occupation categories spanning administrative, technical, health, skilled trades, and miscellaneous roles. Minimum fringe benefits include $5.55 per hour health and welfare coverage (up to 40 hours weekly or $222.00 per week/$962.00 monthly), and $5.09 per hour for Executive Order 13766 coverage ($283.60 weekly/$882.27 monthly). Vacation accrual follows federal standards with 2 weeks after 1 year, 3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 weeks after 20 years of service. Employees receive a minimum of 11 paid holidays annually. Hazardous duty differentials of 8 percent and 4 percent apply to specified ordnance and explosive handling positions. Air traffic controllers and weather observers receive night differential pay at 10 percent of basic rate plus 25 percent Sunday premium when scheduled. Uniform costs are reimbursable when required by contract terms or agency mandate. Wage rates vary by occupation level (roman numerals I-IV typically indicate progression), ranging from $8.80 (carnival worker) to $50.88 (flight instructor and maintenance test pilot positions). The determination applies to all Service Contract Act-covered contracts awarded on or after the effective date and references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations, Fifth Edition, for job duty definitions and conformance procedures involving SF-1444 forms.
