DOL Offers Online Seminar on Prevailing Wages for Employers and Workers on Federally Funded Projects

The Labor Department will offer a free online session on Aug. 29 to discuss how to comply with newly updated prevailing wage rules.  The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division will offer an online seminar focused on requirements for paying prevailing wages on federally funded construction and service contracts.  For contractors that work on federally funded infrastructure projects, it could serve as a refresher. The DOL updated the Davis-Bacon Act in October, in some cases increasing the wages employers need to pay on affected contracts.  The day-long seminar will offer sessions on labor standard protections in the Davis-Bacon Act and the Service Contract Act, to include how the department sets and administers prevailing wage rules.
