Prevailing Wages.pdf

This is a Prevailing Wage Rates document issued by the State of Michigan for funded projects, effective as of October 28, 2025. The document establishes official wage rate schedules for three primary classifications: Laborer Common, Articulated Hauler, and Boom Truck. Each classification includes compensation structures for journeyman-level workers and apprentices at various proficiency levels. For the Laborer Common classification, journeyman workers earn $41.46 per hour at straight time, with time-and-a-half and double-time rates of $55.30 and $69.14 respectively. Apprentice wages for this classification range from $34.54 to $40.08 per hour at straight time, depending on accumulated hours and experience level. The Articulated Hauler classification provides higher compensation, with journeyman straight-time wages of $63.02 per hour and apprentice rates ranging from $51.70 to $61.13. The Boom Truck classification offers the highest rates, with journeyman straight-time compensation of $70.31 per hour and apprentice wages ranging from $56.81 to $63.56.

The wage schedules include specific provisions regarding work hour arrangements and scheduling flexibility. The Laborer Common classification permits four 10-hour workdays and allows make-up days, whereas both the Articulated Hauler and Boom Truck classifications do not permit these flexible arrangements. All wage rates reflect a November 2025 effective date and apply to State of Michigan-funded projects, establishing mandatory compensation floors for public works projects subject to prevailing wage requirements.
