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 determination (No. 2015-4047, Revision 34, last revised 6/25/2026) applies to service contracts in four Massachusetts counties: Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk, covering numerous cities and towns within each county.

The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for over 200 occupational classifications across multiple job categories including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, general services, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, laundry operations, machine tool operation, materials handling, mechanics and maintenance, personal needs, plant operations, protective service, recreation, stevedoring, and technical occupations. Wage rates range from approximately $16.97 to $62.11 per hour depending on the occupation and experience level (identified by roman numerals). All occupations receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly or $222 weekly) or the equivalent monthly amount, with some occupations receiving higher benefits of $5.09 per hour under Executive Order 13706. Additional requirements include paid vacation (2-4 weeks depending on tenure), eleven paid holidays annually, and hazardous duty pay differentials (4-8 percent) for specified ordnance and explosive-related work. Computer professionals, air traffic controllers, and weather observers are subject to specific exemptions and special provisions outlined in detailed footnotes. Uniform allowances of $3.35 per week are reimbursable where required by contract or law.
