This document is a Register of Wage Determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, for North Carolina Counties of Guilford, Randolph, and Rockingham (Wage Determination No. 2015-4381, Revision 31, effective 5/13/2026).

The wage determination establishes prevailing wage rates for service contract employees across numerous occupational classifications, ranging from administrative and clerical roles (e.g., Accounting Clerk I at $17.75/hour, Administrative Assistant at $30.36/hour) through technical and professional positions (e.g., Registered Nurse I at $27.36/hour, Nuclear Medicine Technologist at $57.16/hour) to skilled trades and maintenance positions (e.g., Aircraft Mechanic I at $30.11/hour, Welder at $23.71/hour). All listed occupations include fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour (up to 40 hours per week or $222.00 per week/$962.08 per month), with an alternative fringe benefit rate of $5.69 per hour under Executive Order 13786. The determination specifies entitlements including two weeks paid vacation after one year of service, three weeks after eight years, and four weeks after 15 years, plus eleven federal holidays annually. Additional provisions address hazardous pay differentials (8% and 4%), night/Sunday pay premiums for air traffic controllers and weather observers, uniform allowance standards, and a conformance process for unlisted occupational classifications requiring Department of Labor approval before contract performance begins.
