V. Sample Prevailing Wage Rate Schedules

How is the Prevailing Wage Rate Determined?

The Commissioner of Labor is responsible for designating the prevailing wage rates. This can be done either by holding a hearing in the locality where the project will occur or by adopting rates set for Connecticut by the U.S. Secretary of Labor under the federal Davis‐Bacon Act. The latter method has been used since 1977, when it first became an option. Because the Connecticut Department of Labor uses federal wage schedules, it also relies on federal Davis‐Bacon regulations to guide its interpretation and enforcement of most aspects of the state law. (see Federal Davis‐Bacon Act ‐ Title 29, Part V, included in Section VIII of this packet).

The Davis‐Bacon Act allows the U.S. Secretary of Labor to decide what method will be used to calculate the prevailing wage payable under the law. According to materials issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, the process used to determine rates is to survey contractors and subcontractors who have completed construction work in a particular geographic area during a particular time period regarding the wages they paid on those projects. Those surveyed are asked to indicate the hourly wages paid to designated classes of employees of specific types of projects completed during a specified time period (usually six to 12 months) preceding the survey.

Regional U.S. Department of Labor employees conduct the surveys and analyze the data. If a sufficient number of responses are received, the prevailing wage is calculated for the various job classifications in the specified area. If a majority of the workers in a classification receive the same wage, that amount will become the prevailing wage. In such cases, that rate is usually the one contained in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). This is because union workers are the ones most likely to earn exactly the same hourly pay to the penny.

If no single wage is received by a majority of the workers in the sample, then a weighted average of the rates submitted for the specific classification will be used. After the regional office completes the new rate schedule, it is sent to the Wage and Hour Division of U.S. DOL in Washington. Once that office is satisfied with the validity of the work, the new schedule is released.

General wage determinations are set for geographic areas that have "well settled" wage patterns and are expected to have a large volume of construction work. They are published in the Federal Register and remain in effect until changed by the secretary of labor.

General wage determinations, are used by the Connecticut Labor Commissioner for the state's prevailing wage law. Each schedule of rates is issued for a specific project, based upon the county and type of construction ‐‐ buildings, heavy, highway, or residential (with heavy and highway rates usually being the same, at least in Connecticut).

The state prevailing wage rates are issued project specific at the time the contracting agency advertises the project for bid. These rates are the minimum rates that are equal to the rate customary or prevailing for the same work in the same trade or occupation in the town in which such public works project is being constructed. Since these are the minimum rates to pay, if they are below a worker’s regular contractual hourly rate, the contractor must pay the higher rate. This may occur on residential projects where the posted prevailing wage rate is significantly lower than the worker’s regular (contractual) hourly rate. The contractor is required to pay the higher contractual rate under the Connecticut wage payment laws 31‐71 a‐i.
