Service Contract Act WD 2015-5635.pdf

This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for California Counties of San Diego (Wage Determination No. 2015-5635, Revision 31, effective 8/22/2026).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications, ranging from administrative support roles (e.g., Administrative Support and Clerical Occupations at $21.65/hour) to highly specialized positions such as Registered Nurses ($36.07-$63.99/hour) and Air Traffic Control Specialists ($36.29-$52.63/hour). Rates vary significantly by occupation level and specialty, with technical occupations like Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Programmers designated as exempt classifications requiring conformance determinations. All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.92/hour (up to 48 hours per week, or $236.80 weekly/$1,026.13 monthly) under standard provisions, with an enhanced rate of $5.42/hour available under Executive Order 13706 for applicable contracts. The wage determination mandates paid sick leave accrual, vacation scheduling (2-4 weeks depending on tenure), eleven paid holidays annually, and uniform provisions requiring contractors to furnish uniforms without cost or reimburse employees at $3.35/week. Night shift and Sunday premiums apply to Air Traffic Controllers and Weather Observers. The determination applies to all contracts subject to the Service Contract Act awarded on or after specified dates, with conformance procedures required for unlisted classifications or positions not matching established wage determination categories.
