This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for service contracts in Massachusetts counties (Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates applicable to federal service contracts in specified Massachusetts cities and towns. It contains comprehensive wage rate schedules organized by occupation code and job title, covering administrative support, clerical, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health, information and arts, information technology, instructional, laundry and dry-cleaning, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant and system operations, protective service, recreation, stevedoring and longshore, and technical occupations. Wage rates range from approximately $16.90 to $59.48 per hour depending on occupation and skill level. The determination includes mandatory fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) under standard Service Contract Act requirements and $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for paid sick leave. Special provisions apply to computer professionals (requiring minimum $27.63 per hour compensation), air traffic controllers and weather observers (night pay and Sunday differential provisions), and hazardous duty workers (4-8 percent pay differentials for ordnance and explosives work). The wage determination requires contractors to furnish uniforms at no cost to employees or reimburse actual uniform maintenance costs at $1.35 per week, and establishes conformance procedures for unlisted job classifications through SF-1444 forms submitted to the Department of Labor for approval prior to contract performance.
