This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division for California Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino (Wage Determination No. 2015-5629, Revision 29, effective 5/13/2026).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits required for service contract employees working on federal contracts in the designated area. It lists over 200 occupation classifications with corresponding hourly wage rates ranging from approximately $14.93 to $64.85 per hour, organized by occupational category (administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, health occupations, information technology, mechanics and maintenance, transportation, and others). All listed occupations receive health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 48 hours weekly, $222.00 weekly or $962.08 monthly) or $5.89 per hour under Executive Order 13786 ($283.60 weekly or $882.27 monthly). The determination includes paid vacation accrual (2 weeks after 1 year, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 15 years), eleven paid holidays annually, and hazardous pay differentials (8 percent for high-hazard positions involving explosives and ordnance; 4 percent for lower-hazard positions). Computer professionals earning at least $27.63 hourly and certain air traffic controllers and weather observers receive special night pay and Sunday pay provisions. The document requires uniform allowances to be furnished at no cost to employees or reimbursed at actual cost. Contractors must conform job classifications to listed occupations through SF-1444 procedures when unlisted work is performed, with wage rate determinations subject to Department of Labor approval.
