This document is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment Standards Administration for federal service contracts covering Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey (specifically Delaware Counties of New Castle, Maryland Counties of Cecil, and New Jersey Counties of Salem). The wage determination (No. 2015-4215, Revision 31, effective 5/13/2026) establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits required for all occupations performed under Service Contract Act-covered contracts in these jurisdictions.

The document lists comprehensive wage rates across 99 occupational categories ranging from $14.20 to $50.77 per hour, including administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, healthcare, information technology, mechanical maintenance, and protective services positions. All listed occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week, $222.00 weekly, or $962.00 monthly), with additional $5.09 per hour benefits under Executive Order 13706 for certain contract circumstances. Employees are entitled to a minimum of two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after five years, four weeks after 10 years, and five weeks after 20 years, plus 12 paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals, air traffic controllers, weather observers, and hazardous duty workers, with differential pay rates of 4-8 percent applicable to positions involving exposure to explosives or ordnance. Uniform allowance reimbursement of $1.35 per week is required where uniforms are mandated. The wage determination incorporates references to the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015) and requires conformance procedures for unlisted job classifications through the Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
