Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Prevailing wage laws require contractors working on government funded projects to pay workers a minimum hourly wage and benefits package. These wages are determined by federal, state, or local agencies and vary by location and job classification. The required compensation typically includes base hourly pay, fringe benefits like health insurance or PTO, and overtime.

Prevailing wage rates are determined by federal, state, or local government agencies and typically include both a base hourly wage and a fringe benefit amount. These rates vary by job classification, location, and project type, and must be applied accurately to comply with labor laws.

Fringe benefits are calculated as part of an employee’s total compensation package and may include contributions to health insurance, retirement plans (such as 401(k) or pension), paid time off (PTO), and life or disability insurance. To comply with prevailing wage laws, the total value of these benefits is compared to the required fringe rate.
