The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees working on federal contracts in the specified Maryland counties.

The document specifies that all occupations listed receive health and welfare benefits of $5.92 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, or $236.80 weekly/$1,026.13 monthly), with Executive Order 13786 providing an alternative rate of $5.42 per hour. Vacation accrual includes two weeks after one year, three weeks after five years, and four weeks after 15 years of service. Employees receive minimum eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and hazardous materials handlers, with differential pay ranging from 4-8 percent for hazardous work conditions. Uniform allowances are capped at $1.35 per week for cleaning and maintenance costs. The determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015) for job duty descriptions and includes a conformance request procedure for unlisted occupational classifications.
