On Sept. 13 and 14, the Department of Labor will host free compliance seminars to educate contracting agencies, contractors, unions, workers and other stakeholders regarding the final rule “Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulations,” according to Construction Dive.
The seminars will offer an overview of the recent Davis-Bacon and Related Acts changes and provide a chance for participants to ask questions or clarify concerns.
The rule will restore the DOL’s definition of prevailing wage to make it equivalent to the wage paid to at least 30% of workers—rather than 50% of workers—in a given trade in a locality. This is designed to raise the hourly wages of workers on projects receiving federal funding.
The changes will take effect Oct. 23. View more information and register for a seminar.
