Prevailing Wages/Fringe Benefits on
Federally Funded Public Buildings/Works Contracts
Are you a contractor or subcontractor performing work on federally funded or assisted public buildings/works contracts? If so, do you know your employees’ prevailing wage and fringe benefits rights?
Join the U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, for this information-packed webinar focusing on the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA). These laws apply to contractors and subcontractors performing work on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works.
For prime contracts in excess of $100,000, contractors and subcontractors must also, under the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA), pay laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, at least 1-1/2 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) may also apply to DBRA-covered contracts.
Come learn practical tips and available resources for ensuring compliance with these and other wage laws applicable to DBRA-covered contracts!

Prevailing Wages & Fringe Benefits for Federal Service Contracts
Join the U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, for this information-packed webinar focusing on the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA). This law requires contractors and subcontractors who perform services on prime contracts in excess of $2,500 to pay service employees in various classes no less than the wage rates and fringe benefits found prevailing in the locality, or the rates (including prospective increases) contained in a predecessor contractor’s collective bargaining agreement.
For contracts equal to or less than $2,500, contractors are required to pay the federal minimum wage as provided in Section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
For prime contracts in excess of $100,000, contractors and subcontractors must also, under the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, pay laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, at least 1-1/2 times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may also apply to SCA-covered contracts.
Come learn practical tips and available resources for ensuring compliance with these and other wage laws applicable to SCA-covered contracts!
