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 (Wage Determination No. 2015-4211, Revision 35, effective August 12, 2026).

The wage determination applies to the New Jersey Counties of Essex, Morris, Sussex, and Union and establishes prevailing wage rates for service contracts performed in that geographic area. The document provides occupation codes, titles, and hourly wage rates for over 200 job classifications spanning multiple occupational categories, including administrative support and clerical occupations (ranging from $18.72 to $48.31 per hour), automotive service occupations ($18.85 to $29.68 per hour), food preparation and service occupations ($17.31 to $25.15 per hour), health occupations ($17.20 to $60.26 per hour), information technology occupations ($27.88 to $42.78 per hour), instructional occupations ($25.33 to $61.78 per hour), mechanics and maintenance and repair occupations ($20.81 to $58.89 per hour), and miscellaneous occupations ($17.26 to $48.33 per hour). All listed occupations receive additional fringe benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $236.80 per week) or $5.42 per hour under Executive Order 13786 ($216.80 per week). The document includes notes on exempt computer professionals, air traffic controllers and weather observers with night pay and Sunday pay differentials, hazardous pay differentials of 4% to 8%, and uniform allowance provisions. Contractors must comply with paid sick leave requirements under Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 and follow conformance procedures outlined in 29 CFR 4.6 when unlisted occupations require classification.
