About this file
This document is a prevailing wage rate determination issued by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development for the entire state, establishing mandatory hourly wage and fringe benefit rates across multiple trade classifications and project types. The determination covers diverse construction specialties including Operating Engineers, Structural Steel Erection, Test Boring, Free Air Tunnel Jobs, Drill for Ground Water Supply, Marine-Dredging, Microsurfacing/Slurry Seal, Asphalt Laborers, Heavy & General Laborers, Pipeline work (both Mainline Transmission and Gas Distribution), and Electrician-Utility Work, with separate rates designated for northern and southern county regions where applicable. Effective dates for rate implementations vary by trade, ranging from October 2025 through July 2026, with expiration dates extending to September 2026. The wage determinations include detailed provisions addressing shift differentials, overtime compensation, recognized holidays, hazardous waste work premiums, and specialized work conditions such as tidal work and emergency response.
The prevailing wage rates establish separate compensation tiers based on worker classification and skill level, with hourly rates ranging from approximately $25.37 to $80.93 before fringe benefits, and total compensation (including fringe benefits) ranging up to $157.58 per hour. Fringe benefit rates are standardized by trade classification, varying from $15.44 to $62.52 per hour depending on the specialty. Special provisions include hazardous waste premiums of $1.00 to $5.00 per hour depending on protective equipment requirements, per diem payments for pipeline workers ($64.50 to $140.50 daily), shift differentials ranging from 10% to 31.4% above base rates, and enhanced rates for specialized tasks such as welding, helicopter operations, and equipment operation above specified heights. The document establishes strict overtime requirements with time-and-one-half compensation for hours exceeding eight per day or forty per week, and double-time rates for Sunday and holiday work, ensuring compliance with New Jersey prevailing wage standards for all state and local construction contracts.
