Register of Wage Determinations Under the Service Contract Act

This document is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, containing prevailing wage rates for service contract employees in three Arkansas counties.

The register provides three separate wage determinations for Arkansas service contract work: Wage Determination No. 2015-5721 (Revision 30, effective 5/13/2026) covering Clark and Pike Counties; Wage Determination No. 2015-5113 (Revision 28, effective 5/13/2026) covering Garland County; and Wage Determination No. 2015-5137 (Revision 30, effective 5/13/2026) covering Conway, Hot Spring, Montgomery, Pope, and Yell Counties. Each determination lists over 200 occupational classifications with corresponding hourly wage rates ranging from approximately $11.87 to $50.25 per hour, depending on job category and seniority level. Occupational categories include administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, health occupations, information technology, instructional occupations, mechanics and maintenance, protective services, and transportation operations. All covered occupations receive mandatory fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours weekly) or $283.60 per week, with additional provisions for paid sick leave under Executive Orders 13786 and 13658. The determinations specify hazardous pay differentials (4-8 percent), night pay and Sunday pay premiums for air traffic controllers and weather observers, uniform allowances, and vacation/holiday entitlements. Job titles are drawn from the Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations (Fifth Edition, September 2015), with conformance procedures outlined for unlisted classifications requiring SF-1444 submission to the Department of Labor.
