The document is a Wage Determination Register under the Service Contract Act, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, which sets minimum wage rates and fringe benefits for service employees on federal contracts. The primary focus is to inform contractors of their obligations to pay at least the specified minimum wage in accordance with Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, which stipulate wage rates of $17.20 or $12.90 per hour, respectively, for contracts entered into or renewed after January 30, 2022. It details wage rates for various occupations, specifying different rates for administrative support, automotive service, health occupations, and others, applicable to specific towns in York County, including Eliot and Kittery.
The document also outlines additional employee benefits, such as health & welfare contributions, vacation days, and holiday pay.

Overall, this register serves to ensure that federal contractors comply with wage laws, providing fair compensation and support to employees covered under government contracts while enhancing worker protections.
