About this file
This document is a Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division poster detailing worker rights under the Davis-Bacon Act for laborers and mechanics working on federal or federally assisted construction projects. The poster outlines key worker protections, including requirements for prevailing wages, overtime compensation, and protection against retaliation. Critical enforcement provisions allow contract payments to be withheld to ensure wage compliance, with potential consequences including contract termination, debarment from future federal contracts, and possible civil or criminal prosecution for wage violations. The poster specifies that workers must be paid at least 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 per week. For further information or to report wage issues, workers can contact the listed Contracting Officer or the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
