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 Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The document establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for service contract employees in specified geographic areas: Minnesota counties of Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Washington, and Wright; and Wisconsin counties of Pierce and St. Croix. The wage determination (No. 2015-4945, Revision 31, effective 5/13/2026) lists approximately 300 occupational classifications across multiple categories including administrative support, food service, automotive service, furniture maintenance, health occupations, information technology, protective services, and technical occupations. Wage rates range from approximately $12.71 per hour (Waiter/Waitress) to $52.69 per hour (Cable Splicer), with most rates between $17 and $46 per hour. All listed occupations receive health and welfare benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly or $222.00 weekly/$962.08 monthly), with an additional $5.09 per hour fringe benefit available for certain Service Contract Act-covered positions. The determination specifies vacation entitlements of two weeks paid leave after one year of service and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and employees subject to hazardous duty differentials. Conformance procedures requiring SF-1444 forms are mandated when unlisted employee classifications are encountered during contract performance.
