WAGE DETERMINATION 2015-4929 REV.31.pdf

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 Wisconsin counties (Barron, Buffalo, Clark, Crawford, Dunn, Jackson, Juneau, Monroe, Pepin, and Trempealeau).

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications. Wage rates range from $11.87 per hour for Waiter/Waitress to $52.67 per hour for Registered Nurse IV, with most occupations falling between $16-$30 per hour. Fringe benefits include health and welfare coverage at $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $222 weekly/$962 monthly) under standard terms, or $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706 for paid sick leave requirements ($203.60 per week or $882.27 monthly). Vacation is earned at two weeks after one year, three weeks after eight years, and four weeks after fifteen years of service. Employees receive a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. The wage determination applies to contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2015, and those subject to Executive Order 13658 (minimum $13.65 per hour or applicable wage rate, whichever is higher). Special provisions apply to computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and hazardous materials handlers, with specific skill requirements and differential pay rates detailed. Uniform allowances are capped at $3.35 per week for maintenance costs where applicable. The determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations and includes a conformance process for unlisted classifications requiring contractor submission and Department of Labor approval before employee assignment.
