Davis-Bacon Act (Federal)
Federal construction dollars come with Davis-Bacon rules. We manage the wage determinations, weekly payroll reporting, and DOL requirements coast to coast.
The Davis-Bacon Act and its Related Acts attach prevailing wage requirements to most federally funded or federally assisted construction: highways and bridges, military facilities, housing, water and wastewater treatment, energy projects, and more. Wage rates come from Department of Labor wage determinations, payroll reporting happens weekly on federal form WH-347, and enforcement belongs to the DOL Wage and Hour Division.
The 2023 Davis-Bacon final rule tightened definitions, expanded site of work coverage, and caught many general contractors and subcontractors off guard. We keep your federal construction projects compliant under the current rules in every state.
