Constructing Compliance: Davis Bacon Rules for Federal Contracts

The Davis-Bacon Act and its Related Acts apply to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings or public works. The contractors or subcontractors must pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area.

The Department of Labor's recently published final rule, Updating the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulations, is the first comprehensive DBRA regulatory review in nearly 40 years. The final rule updates and modernizes the regulations implementing the DBRA at 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 with the goal of increasing efficiency of administration of the Act and enhancing protections for covered construction workers.

Presented by the Wage and Hour Division, this free training will discuss these important changes, including regulatory updates to certified payrolls, record keeping, site of work, prevailing wages and fringe benefits, conformances, overtime, and executive orders.

Contracting officers, Federal contractors, human resources and payroll professionals, and others involved in Federal construction contracts will benefit from this webinar.
