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. The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees in Maryland counties including Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Carroll, Harford, Howard, and Queen Anne's. Wage Determination No. 2015-4265 (Revision 32, effective December 3, 2025) covers over 200 occupational classifications across multiple service categories.

The wage determination specifies hourly rates for occupations ranging from administrative and clerical roles (Accounting Clerk I at $20.19/hour) to highly specialized positions (Registered Nurse IV at $55.99/hour and Registered Nurse, Anesthetist at $46.70/hour). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours/week), or $222.00 weekly, or $962.00 monthly; employees covered by Executive Order 13706 receive $5.09 per hour ($203.60 weekly or $882.27 monthly). Additional benefits include two weeks' paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after eight years, and four weeks after 15 years, plus eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals (exempt from wage determination if meeting compensation and duty requirements), air traffic controllers and weather observers (entitled to night differential and Sunday premium pay), and employees working with hazardous materials (8% or 4% differential depending on hazard degree). Uniform costs must be reimbursed by contractors. The determination references the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, Revision 1, September 2015) for job duty definitions and includes a conformance process for unlisted occupations requiring contracting officer review and Wage and Hour Division approval.
