DOL to hold Davis-Bacon seminar for contractors

The Labor Department will offer a free online session on Aug. 29 to discuss how to comply with newly updated prevailing wage rules.

Dive Brief:

  • On Aug. 29, the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division will offer an online seminar focused on requirements for paying prevailing wages on federally funded construction and service contractors.
  • For contractors that work on federally funded infrastructure projects, it could serve as a much-needed refresher. The DOL updated the Davis-Bacon Act in October, in some cases increasing the wages employers need to pay on affected contracts.
  • The day-long seminar will offer sessions on labor standard protections in the Davis-Bacon Act and the Service Contract Act, to include how the department sets and administers prevailing wage rules.

The seminar will be held from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, per the release. It’s free to attend but registration is required.
