Prevailing Wage
Prevailing Wage Rates
Prevailing wage rates for any job classification are effective on the dates indicated and must be reflected on the pay period currently performed. Prevailing wage rates are to be posted at the construction site by the contractor in a place that is visible to all employees.
Payroll Reporting Procedures for Prime Contractors & Subcontractors
All prime contractors and subcontractors will submit certified payroll reports to LCP Tracker at least once a month as well as upload important employee documentation such as Prevailing Wage Notifications, Union Affiliation Letters, and apprenticeship paperwork. Certified payroll submissions must include the employee’s address, the last four digits of the social security number, the work classification, the basic hourly rate and the fringe benefit being given to the employee. The base hourly rate and fringe benefits provided should at least equal the prevailing wage rate for the employee's work classification. A "no work" payroll must be submitted for all weeks where there is no work performed by a contractor or subcontractor. The prime contractor will have to approve all certified payrolls submitted by their subcontractors before those payrolls will be sent to the City for review.
