This is a Register of Wage Determinations under the Service Contract Act (SCA) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division, effective December 3, 2025 (Wage Determination No. 2015-5511, Revision 27).

The wage determination applies to federal service contracts in eight Idaho counties: Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis, and Shoshone. It establishes prevailing wage rates and fringe benefits for 165+ occupation classifications spanning administrative support, automotive service, food preparation, furniture maintenance, health occupations, information technology, instructional roles, protective services, technical occupations, transportation, and miscellaneous services. Wage rates range from $11.84 per hour (Taxi Driver) to $58.25 per hour (Nuclear Medicine Technologist). All listed occupations receive fringe benefits including $5.55 per hour health and welfare coverage (or $203.60-$882.27 monthly under Executive Order 13706), two weeks paid vacation after one year of service escalating to four weeks after 15 years, and eleven paid holidays annually. Special provisions apply to computer professionals (exempt from wage determination if earning $684+ weekly on salary basis), air traffic controllers and weather observers (night differential and Sunday premium pay at 25% of basic rate), hazardous duty work (4-8% pay differential), and uniform allowances. The conformance process requires contractors to submit Standard Form 1444 for any unlisted occupations requiring wage rate determination approval by the Wage and Hour Division within 30 days.
