This is a Wage Determination document (WD 2015-4727, Revision 27, effective July 8, 2025) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration under the Service Contract Act. The determination covers Ohio counties including Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina.

The document establishes minimum wage rates for service contract employees across 99 occupation classifications, ranging from $12.17 to $49.05 per hour depending on job title and experience level. Fringe benefits required for all occupations include health and welfare at $5.55 per hour (or $222 weekly/$962 monthly), vacation accrual (two weeks after one year, three weeks after five years, four weeks after fifteen years), and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. The determination applies different Executive Order minimum wage requirements based on contract award date: contracts entered on or after January 30, 2022 must pay at least $17.75 per hour under Executive Order 14026, while contracts awarded between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022 must pay at least $13.30 per hour under Executive Order 13658. Special pay provisions include night differentials and Sunday premiums for air traffic controllers and weather observers, hazardous pay differentials (4-8 percent) for ordnance and explosives work, and uniform allowances at $3.35 weekly when uniforms are required. Computer professionals earning at least $27.63 hourly are exempt from coverage. The document provides conformance procedures for unlisted occupations via Standard Form 1444, requiring contractor submission within 30 days of unlisted employee assignment for Department of Labor review and approval.
