About this file
This document contains Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions applicable to contracts and leases with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including the Lawrence County mat rental and placement services procurement. The provisions establish mandatory compensation standards for contractor and subcontractor employees performing work under the contract. The contractor must pay a minimum of $15.00 per hour to all employees performing direct services as specified in the contract and to employees spending at least 20 percent of their time on ancillary services necessary to contract performance. The wage rate adjusts annually beginning July 1, 2023, based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, with adjusted amounts published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin by March 1 each year for July 1 implementation. The contractor must post these provisions conspicuously at work locations and maintain employment and wage records for Commonwealth verification.
The Enhanced Minimum Wage Provisions contain specified exceptions for employees exempt under the Minimum Wage Act of 1968, those covered by collective bargaining agreements, and employees required to receive higher wages under prevailing wage laws, Davis-Bacon Act requirements, or other state or local ordinances. Contractors must include these provisions in all subcontracts to ensure binding compliance throughout the supply chain. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions including contract termination, nonpayment, debarment, or referral to the Office of General Counsel for civil or criminal action. The provisions apply for the entire duration of the contract period.
