This document is a General Decision wage determination issued by the U.S. Department of Labor for residential construction projects in Osceola County, Florida, effective for contracts entered into on or after January 30, 2024. The wage determination covers construction of single-family homes and apartments up to 4 stories, and specifies minimum wage rates for various labor classifications under Executive Order 14026, which requires contractors to pay at least $17.30 per hour for all covered workers performing work on the contract in 2024.

The wage determination provides detailed hourly rates and fringe benefits for numerous construction job classifications, including power equipment operators, ironworkers, carpenters, electricians, laborers, truck drivers, and specialized trades like sheet metal workers and welders. The rates are derived from a comprehensive wage survey and reflect both union and non-union prevailing wage rates. The document notes that workers in certain classifications may be entitled to higher minimum wages under specific conditions, and it includes provisions for overtime, sick leave, and other labor protections. The wage rates are subject to annual updates, typically occurring in January, and are based on negotiated collective bargaining agreements for various trade unions and worker classifications.
