Informational Sheet: Prevailing Wages on State Projects

P a g e | 1 of 11

REQUIREMENTS OF

THE PREVAILING WAGES ON STATE PROJECTS ACT, PUBLIC ACT 166 OF 1965

The State of Michigan determines prevailing rates pursuant to the Prevailing Wages on State Projects Act, Public Act 166 of 1965, as amended. The purpose of establishing prevailing rates is to provide minimum rates of pay that must be paid to workers on construction projects for which the state or a school district is the contracting agent and which is financed or financially supported by the state. By law, prevailing rates are compiled from the rates contained in collectively bargained agreements which cover the locations of the state projects. The official prevailing rate schedule provides an hourly rate which includes wage and fringe benefit totals for designated construction mechanic classifications. The overtime rates also include wage and fringe benefit totals. Please pay special attention to the overtime and premium pay requirements. Prevailing wage is satisfied when wages plus fringe benefits paid to a worker are equal to or greater than the required rate.

State of Michigan responsibilities under the law:

• The department establishes the prevailing rate for each classification of construction mechanic requested by a contracting agent prior to contracts being let out for bid on a state project.

Contracting agent responsibilities under the law:

• If a contract is not awarded or construction does not start within 90 days of the date of the issuance of rates, a re-determination of rates must be requested by the contracting agent.

• Rates for classifications needed but not provided on the Prevailing Rate Schedule, must be obtained prior to contracts being let out for bid on a state project.

• The contracting agent, by written notice to the contractor and the sureties of the contractor known to the contracting agent, may terminate the contractor's right to proceed with that part of the contract, for which less than the prevailing rates have been or will be paid, and may proceed to complete the contract by separate agreement with another contractor or otherwise, and the original contractor and his sureties shall be liable to the contracting agent for any excess costs occasioned thereby.

Contractor responsibilities under the law:

• Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep posted on the construction site, in a conspicuous place, a copy of all prevailing rates prescribed in a contract.

• Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep an accurate record showing the name and occupation of and the actual wages and benefits paid to each construction mechanic. This record shall be available for reasonable inspection by the contracting agent or the department.

• Each contractor or subcontractor is separately liable for the payment of the prevailing rate to its employees.

• The prime contractor is responsible for advising all subcontractors of the requirement to pay the prevailing rate prior to commencement of work.

• A construction mechanic shall only be paid the apprentice rate if registered with the United States Department of

Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training and the rate is included in the contract.

Enforcement:

A person who has information of an alleged prevailing wage violation on a state project may file a complaint with the State of Michigan. The department will investigate and attempt to resolve the complaint informally. During the course of an investigation, if the requested records and posting certification are not made available in compliance with Section 5 of Act 166, the investigation will be concluded and a referral may be made to the local prosecuting attorney.

General Information Regarding Fringe Benefits Certain fringe benefits may be credited toward the payment of the Prevailing Wage Rate:

o If a fringe benefit is paid directly to a construction mechanic o If a fringe benefit contribution or payment is made on behalf of a construction mechanic o If a fringe benefit, which may be provided to a construction mechanic, is pursuant to a written contract or policy o If a fringe benefit is paid into a fund, for a construction mechanic

When a fringe benefit is not paid by an hourly rate, the hourly credit will be calculated based on the annual value of the fringe benefit divided by 2080 hours per year (52 weeks @ 40 hours per week).

The following is an example of the types of fringe benefits allowed and how an hourly credit is calculated:

Vacation 40 hours X $14.00 per hour = $560/2080 = $.27 Dental insurance $31.07 monthly premium X 12 mos. = $372.84 /2080 = $.18 Vision insurance $5.38 monthly premium X 12 mos. = $64.56/2080 = $.03 Health insurance $230.00 monthly premium X 12 mos. = $2,760.00/2080 = $1.33 Life insurance $27.04 monthly premium X 12 mos. = $324.48/2080 = $.16 Tuition $500.00 annual cost/2080 = $.24 Bonus 4 quarterly bonus/year x $250 = $1000.00/2080 = $.48 401k Employer Contribution $2000.00 total annual contribution/2080 = $.96

Total Hourly Credit $3.65 Other examples of the types of fringe benefits allowed:

Sick pay Holiday pay Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance premiums

The following are examples of items that will not be credited toward the payment of the Prevailing Wage Rate o Legally required payments, such as:

Unemployment Insurance payments Workers’ Compensation Insurance payments FICA (Social Security contributions, Medicare contributions) o Reimbursable expenses, such as:

Clothing allowance or reimbursement Uniform allowance or reimbursement Gas allowance or reimbursement Travel time or payment Meals or lodging allowance or reimbursement Per diem allowance or payment o Other payments to or on behalf of a construction mechanic that are not wages or fringe benefits, such as:

Industry advancement funds Financial or material loans
