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 (Wage Determination No. 2015-5631, Revision 26, effective December 3, 2025). The document establishes prevailing wage rates for service contracts in California counties including El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo.

The wage determination specifies hourly rates across 29 occupational categories encompassing over 200 job classifications, ranging from administrative and clerical positions (Accounting Clerk I at $21.85 to Court Reporter at $49.46) to highly specialized roles such as Registered Nurse IV at $81.35 and Nuclear Medicine Technologist at $80.18. All occupations listed receive fringe benefits of $5.55 per hour up to 40 hours weekly (or $222.00 weekly/$962.00 monthly), plus an alternative Health & Welfare rate of $5.09 per hour for contracts also covered by Executive Order 13706 on paid sick leave. Additional benefits include two weeks paid vacation after one year of service and a minimum of eleven paid holidays annually. Specific occupations including Computer Programmers, Computer Systems Analysts, Air Traffic Controllers, and Weather Observers have designated footnotes addressing exemptions or special pay provisions such as night differentials (10% additional pay between 6pm-6am) and Sunday premiums (25% of basic rate). The determination also includes an 8 percent hazardous pay differential for ordnance and explosives work and a 4 percent differential for lower-hazard explosive-related operations. Uniform allowances of $3.35 weekly are provided where required, and Executive Orders 13706 and 13658 establish minimum wage requirements of $13.30 per hour for covered workers.
