About this file
This is a Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division informational poster regarding worker rights under the Davis-Bacon Act for laborers and mechanics working on federal or federally assisted construction projects.
The poster communicates six primary worker protections: (1) Prevailing Wages—workers must receive the wage rates specified in the Davis-Bacon Wage Decision posted with the contract notice; (2) Overtime—workers are entitled to not less than one and one-half times their basic hourly rate for all hours exceeding 40 per work week, with few exceptions; (3) Enforcement—contract payments may be withheld to secure wage compliance, liquidated damages may apply for overtime violations, and contractors face potential contract termination and three-year debarment for non-compliance, with criminal and civil penalties for falsified payroll records or wage kickbacks; (4) Apprentices—apprentice wage rates apply only to workers properly registered under approved federal or state apprenticeship programs; (5) Retaliation Protections—the law prohibits discharge or retaliation against workers for filing complaints, cooperating in investigations, or testifying in proceedings; and (6) Proper Pay Resources—workers who do not receive proper compensation or require wage information should contact the Contracting Officer or the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division at 866-487-9243 or dol.gov/agencies/whd. The poster is required to be displayed by employers where workers can readily see it.

OVERTIME You must be paid not less than one and one-half times your basic rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a work week. There are few exceptions.
ENFORCEMENT Contract payments can be withheld to ensure workers receive wages and overtime pay due, and liquidated damages may apply if overtime pay requirements are not met. Davis-Bacon contract clauses allow contract termination and debarment of contractors from future federal contracts for three years. A contractor who falsifies certified payroll records or induces wage kickbacks may be subject to civil or criminal prosecution, fines and/or imprisonment.
APPRENTICES Apprentice rates apply only to apprentices properly registered under approved federal or state apprenticeship programs.
RETALIATION The law prohibits discharging or otherwise retaliating against workers for filing a complaint, cooperating in an investigation, or testifying in a proceeding under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.
