About this file
This is a Prevailing Wage Rate Determination document issued by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Division of Wage and Hour Compliance - Public Contracts Section, effective August 11, 2026, establishing mandatory wage rates for workers on public works projects in Mercer County, New Jersey. The document applies to the Stockton Park Site Improvements Rebid project in Pennsauken Township, with bids due by 10:30 am on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The prevailing wage rates vary by craft and worker classification, with journeyman wage rates ranging from approximately $33.97 to $83.00 per hour depending on the trade, supplemented by fringe benefit rates that are integral to the total compensation. The document specifies applicable rates for numerous crafts including carpenters, electricians, plumbers, ironworkers, laborers, painters, roofers, and equipment operators, along with apprentice wage schedules calculated as percentages of journeyman rates and detailed apprentice-to-journeyman ratios for each trade.
All contractors, subcontractors, and lower-tier subcontractors bidding on or working on this public works project must register with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development pursuant to the Public Works Contractor Registration Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.48 et seq.). Prevailing wage rates are effective on the contract award date, and any predetermined rate increases specified at that time must be paid beginning on the dates specified. The document establishes work day definitions, shift differentials ranging from 10% to 30% depending on craft and shift, overtime pay structures typically at time-and-one-half or double-time rates depending on hours worked and day of week, and recognized holidays. Fringe benefits must be paid directly to employees by employers not providing such benefits, or the difference must be paid if employer-provided benefits fall short of the required amount. Snow plowing contracts are explicitly excluded from prevailing wage requirements.

The New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.25 et seq.) requires that the Department of Labor and
Workforce Development establish and enforce a prevailing wage level for workers engaged in public works in order to safeguard their efficiency and general well being and to protect them as well as their employers from the effects of serious and unfair competition.
Prevailing wage rates are wage and fringe benefit rates based on the collective bargaining agreements established for a particular craft or trade in the locality in which the public work is performed. In New Jersey , these rates vary by county and by the type of work performed.
Applicable prevailing wage rates are those wages and fringe benefits in effect on the date the contract is awarded. All pre-determined rate increases listed at the time the contract is awarded must also be paid , beginning on the dates specified. Rates that have expired will remain in effect until new rates are posted .
Prevailing Wage Rate
The prevailing wage rate for each craft will list the effective date of the rate and the following information :
W = Wage Rate per Hour B = Fringe Benefit Rate per Hour* T = Total Rate per Hour
* Fringe benefits are an integral part of the prevailing wage rate. Employers not providing such benefits must pay the fringe benefit amount directly to the employee each payday. Employers providing benefits worth less than the fringe benefit amount must pay the balance directly to the employee each payday.
Unless otherwise stated in the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination, the fringe benefit rate for overtime hours remains at the straight time rate.
When the Overtime Notes in the Prevailing Wage Rate Determination state that the overtime rates are "inclusive of benefits," the benefit rate is increased by the same factor as the wage rate
(i.e. multiplied by 1.5 for time and one-half, multiplied by 2 for double time, etc.).
Apprentice Rate Schedule
An “apprentice” is an individual who is registered with the United States Department of Labor - Office of
Apprenticeship and enrolled in a certified apprenticeship program during the period in which they are working on the public works project.
The apprentice wage rate is a percentage of the journeyman wage rate, unless otherwise indicated. The apprentice benefit rate is the full journeyman benefit rate, unless otherwise indicated.
If there is no apprentice rate schedule listed, the individual must be paid at least the journeyman rate even if that individual is in a certified apprentice program for that trade.
If there is no ratio of apprentices to journeymen listed for a particular craft, then the ratio shall be one (1) apprentice to every four (4) journeymen.
