This is a General Decision (Wage Determination) document from the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division establishing prevailing wage rates for construction work in North Carolina counties of Pasquotank. The determination covers building construction and applies to federal contracts awarded on or after May 11, 2026.

The document establishes wage rates and fringe benefits for multiple construction classifications, including pipefitters, truck drivers, sheet metal workers, roofers, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, electricians, carpenters, painters, operators, laborers, ironworkers, and bricklayers. Rates range from $10.00 to $19.38 per hour for base wages, with fringe benefits ranging from 0.00 to 12.69. The determination references Executive Orders 13706 and 13658, requiring contractors to provide 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked (up to 56 hours annually) and maintain a minimum wage of $13.65 per hour or the applicable prevailing wage rate, whichever is higher, for contracts covered by these orders. The document provides detailed guidance on rate identifiers (union rates, weighted union averages, survey rates, and state-adopted rates), explains the wage determination appeals process, and includes contact information for the Wage and Hour Division's Branch of Construction Wage Determinations for requesting initial decisions or submitting appeals through the Wage and Hour Administrator and Administrative Review Board.
