29 CFR 4.3 - Wage determinations.

(a) The minimum monetary wages and fringe benefits for service
employees which the Act requires to be specified in contracts and bid
solicitations subject to section 2(a) thereof will be set forth in wage
determinations issued by the Administrator. Wage determinations shall be issued as soon as administratively feasible for all contracts subject to section 2(a) of the Act, and will be issued for all contracts entered
into under which more than 5 service employees are to be employed.

(b) Such wage determinations will set forth for the various classes
of service employees to be employed in furnishing services under such
contracts in the appropriate localities, minimum monetary wage rates to be paid and minimum fringe benefits to be furnished them during the
periods when they are engaged in the performance of such contracts,
including, where appropriate under the Act, provisions for adjustments
in such minimum rates and benefits to be placed in effect under such
contracts at specified future times. The wage rates and fringe benefits
set forth in such wage determinations shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of sections 2(a)(1), (2), and (5), 4(c) and 4(d) of the Act from those prevailing in the locality for such employees, with due consideration of the rates that would be paid for direct Federal employment of any classes of such employees whose wages, if federally employed, would be determined.
