About this file

This is a Prevailing Wage Determination document issued by the Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Labor and Industry, for Project No. KN-000-220-002, which involves the replacement of 14 rooftop HVAC units at a facility in Allegany County. The determination establishes mandatory wage rates that successful bidders and subcontractors must pay all workers employed on this public work project. The prevailing wage rates were derived from the 2025 locality survey for Allegany County pursuant to State Finance and Procurement Article Section 17-209. The document includes comprehensive instructions for contractors and subcontractors regarding payroll certification, apprenticeship requirements, licensing, and wage posting obligations. Contractors must electronically submit certified payroll records within 14 calendar days after the end of each payroll period to the Maryland Prevailing Wage Unit; delinquent submissions result in liquidated damages of $10.00 per calendar day and may delay payment processing.

The prevailing wage rates for building construction classifications in Allegany County range from $20.00 to $58.81 per hour for basic hourly rates, with fringe benefit payments varying by classification. Key requirements include mandatory posting of prevailing wage rates in a prominent location at the worksite throughout project execution, employment of only registered Maryland apprentices at a one-to-one ratio with journey persons, valid state and county construction licenses retained at the worksite, and prohibition of helpers or trainees on the project. Contractors and subcontractors must contribute to apprenticeship training through one of three options: participating in a registered apprenticeship program, contributing to an organization with such a program, or contributing to the State Apprenticeship and Training Fund. Overtime rates must be paid at no less than time and one-half the prevailing hourly rate for hours exceeding ten per calendar day, forty per workweek, or work performed on Sundays and legal holidays. A pre-construction conference representative from the prevailing wage unit should be invited, and violations of prevailing wage requirements are subject to civil penalties of up to $50.00 per violation.

PREVAILING WAGE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CONTRACTOR & SUBCONTRACTOR

The contractor shall electronically submit completed copies of certified payroll records to the Commissioner of Labor & Industry, Prevailing Wage Unit by going on-line to https://www.dllr.state.md.us/prevwage and following the instructions for submitting payroll information (NOTE: A contractor must register prior to submitting on-line certified payroll information).

If you have technical questions regarding electronic submittal, contact the Department at dldliprevailingwage-dllr@maryland.gov.

All certified payroll records shall have an accurate week beginning and ending date. The contractor shall be responsible for certifying and submitting to the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, Prevailing Wage Unit all of their subcontractors' payroll records covering work performed directly at the work site. By certifying the payroll records, the contractor is attesting to the fact that the wage rates contained in the payroll records are not less than those established by the Commissioner as set forth in the contract, the classification set forth for each worker or apprentice conforms with the work performed, and the contractor or subcontractor has complied with the provisions of the law.

A contractor or subcontractor may make deductions that are (1) required by law; (2) required by a collective bargaining agreement between a bona fide labor organization and the contractor or subcontractor; or (3) contained in a written agreement between an employee and an employer undertaken at the beginning of employment, if the agreement is submitted by the employer to the public body awarding the public work and is approved by the public body as fair and reasonable.

A contractor or subcontractor is required to submit information on-line on their fringe benefit packages including a list of fringe benefits for each craft employed by the contractor or subcontractor, by benefit and hourly amount. Where fringe benefits are paid in cash to the employee or to an approved plan, fund, or program, the contribution is required to be indicated.

Payroll records must be electronically submitted and received within 14 calendar days after the end of each payroll period. If the contractor is delinquent in submitting payroll records, processing of partial payment estimates may be held in abeyance pending receipt of the records. In addition, if the contractor is delinquent in submitting the payroll records, the contractor shall be liable to the contracting public body for liquidated damages. The liquidated damages are $10.00 for each calendar day the records are late.

Only apprentices registered with the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council shall be employed on prevailing wage projects. Apprentices shall be paid a percentage of the determined journey person 's wage for the specific craft.

Overtime rates shall be paid by the contractor and any subcontractors under its contracts and agreements with their employees which in no event shall be less than time and one-half the prevailing hourly rate of wages for all hours worked in excess of ten (10) hours in any one calendar day; in excess of forty (40) hours per workweek; and work performed on Sundays and legal holidays.

Contractors and subcontractors employing a classification of worker for which a wage rate was not issued SHALL notify the Commissioner of Labor & Industry, Prevailing Wage Unit, for the purpose of obtaining the wage rate for said classification PRIOR TO BEING EMPLOYED on the project. To obtain a prevailing wage rate which was NOT listed on the Wage Determination, a contractor or subcontractor can look on the LABOR webpage under prevailing wage.

Contractors and subcontractors shall maintain a valid copy of proper State and county licenses that permit the contractor and a subcontractor to perform construction work in the State of Maryland. These licenses must be retained at the worksite and available for review upon request by the Commissioner of Labor and Industry’s designee.

**Each contractor under a public work contract subject to Section 17-219 shall:

1. Post a clearly legible statement of each prevailing wage rate to be paid under the public work contract; and

2. Keep the statement posted during the full time that any employee is employed on the public work contract.

3. The statement of prevailing wage rates shall be posted in a prominent and easily accessible place at the site of the public work.

**Penalty - Subject to Section 10-1001 of the State Goverment Article, the Commissioner may impose on a person that violates this section a civil penalty of up to $50.00 per violation.

Under the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council requirements, consistent with proper supervision, training and continuity of employment and applicable provisions in collective bargaining agreements, a ratio of one journey person regularly employed to one apprentice shall be allowed. No deviation from this ratio shall be permitted without prior written approval from the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council.

Laborers may NOT assist mechanics in the performance of the mechanic's work, NOR USE TOOLS peculiar to established trades.

ALL contractors and subcontractors shall employ only competent workers and apprentices and may NOT employ any individual classified as a HELPER or TRAINEE on a prevailing wage project.

The State Apprenticeship and Training Fund (Fund) law provides that contractors and certain subcontractors performing work on certain public work contracts are required to make contributions toward apprenticeship. See §17- 601 through 17-606, State Finance and Procurement, Annotated Code of Maryland. Contractors and subcontractors have three options where they can choose to make their contributions: (1) participate in a registered apprenticeship training program; (2) contribute to an organization that has a registered apprenticeship training program; or (3) contribute to the State Apprenticeship and Training Fund.

The Department of Labor (LABOR) is moving forward with final adoption of regulations. The regulations were published in the December 14, 2012 edition of the Maryland Register.

IMPORTANT: Please note that the obligations under this law will become effective on JULY 1, 2013. This law will require that contractors and certain subcontractors make contributions toward apprenticeship and report those contributions on their certified payroll records that they submit pursuant to the prevailing wage law.

The Department is offering outreach seminars to any interested parties including contractors, trade associations, and any other stakeholders. Please contact the Department at dldliprevailingwage-dllr@maryland.gov or (410) 767-2968 for seminar times and locations.
