Summary

This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for Nevada counties of Storey and Washoe (Wage Determination No. 2015-5595, Revision No. 30, effective 8/22/2026). The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications, ranging from administrative and clerical positions (such as accounting clerks, administrative assistants, and data entry operators) to specialized technical roles (including computer programmers, systems analysts, and engineering technicians), as well as skilled trades (automotive mechanics, carpenters, electricians), healthcare occupations (nurses, medical technicians, physical therapists), and general services positions (janitors, landscapers, warehouse workers).

The wage determination specifies hourly rates for each classified occupation, with rates varying significantly by job complexity—from approximately $12.36 per hour for entry-level positions like dishwashers to $74.48 per hour for nuclear medicine technologists. The document includes mandatory fringe benefits of $5.92 per hour (Health & Welfare) and an alternative rate of $5.42 per hour under Executive Order 13786. Special provisions address hazardous pay differentials (4% to 8%), night shift and weekend premium pay for air traffic controllers and weather observers, uniform allowance reimbursement requirements, and computer professional exemptions. The wage determination applies to all federal service contracts awarded on or after January 1, 2015, and encompasses provisions for paid sick leave per Executive Order 13706, vacation schedules, eleven paid holidays annually, and procedures for conformance requests when unlisted job classifications require wage determination.
