## Rates

24 classifications, in the order the determination lists them. The rate identifier says where a rate comes from: a union agreement (such as ELEC0351-006), a union average (UAVG) or a wage survey (SU…). Letters after a fringe refer to the determination’s footnotes. The notes at the top of the determination on SAM.gov, such as federal contractor minimum wage notices and paid leave requirements, apply as well.
