About this file
This document is a Worker Rights poster issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, specifically addressing the Davis-Bacon Act requirements for laborers and mechanics working on federal or federally assisted construction projects. The poster outlines key worker protections, including prevailing wage requirements, overtime pay regulations, and enforcement mechanisms. Workers must be paid not less than the wage rate listed in the Davis-Bacon Wage Decision and receive overtime pay at one and one-half times their basic rate for hours worked over 40 in a work week.
The poster emphasizes strong enforcement provisions, including the potential for contract payments to be withheld, liquidated damages, contract termination, and contractor debarment for three years. It protects workers from retaliation for filing complaints or participating in investigations and specifies that apprentice rates apply only to properly registered apprentices. The document provides contact information for workers to seek assistance if they do not receive proper pay, including the Contracting Officer or the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Contractors who falsify payroll records or induce wage kickbacks may face civil or criminal prosecution, potential fines, and imprisonment.
