Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Regulations. The final rule took effect on October 23, 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950, the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for determining prevailing wages, issuing regulations and standards to be observed by federal agencies that award or fund projects subject to Davis-Bacon labor standards, and overseeing consistent enforcement of the Davis-Bacon labor standards.</p><p>The Davis-Bacon and 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 (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works. Davis-Bacon Act and Related Act contractors and 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.</p><p>The Davis-Bacon Act directs the Department of Labor to determine such locally prevailing wage rates. The Davis-Bacon Act applies to contractors and subcontractors performing work on federal or District of Columbia contracts. The Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage provisions apply to the “Related Acts,” under which federal agencies assist construction projects through grants, loans, loan guarantees, and insurance.</p><p>For prime contracts in excess of $100,000, contractors and subcontractors must also, under the provisions of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, as amended, pay laborers and mechanics, including guards and watchmen, at least one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may also apply to DBA-covered contracts.</p><p> </p><style type="text/css">.usa-card__img {background-color:white !important;} .usa-card__header {padding-top:.5rem !important} </style><ul class="usa-card-group"><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">General Guidance</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/1-GeneralGuidance.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Guidance materials about the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, including guides for both employers and employees, and more.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/guidance">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about General Guidance for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">Fact Sheets</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/2-FactSheets.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Learn more by reading fact sheets that cover a variety of Davis-Bacon and Related Acts topics.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/fact-sheets">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about Fact Sheets for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">Construction Surveys</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/3-Forms.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Learn about the survey process.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/surveys">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about Forms for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">Other Resources</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/4-OtherResources.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Access interactive online tools, posters, and presentations about the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/posters">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about Other Resources for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">Interpretive Guidance</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/5-InterpritiveGuidance.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Review Administrator Interpretations, Opinion and Ruling Letters as well as chapters of the WHD Field Operations Handbook.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/interpretive">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about Interpretive Guidance for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li><li class="tablet:grid-col-4 usa-card"><div class="usa-card__container"><header class="usa-card__header"><h2 class="usa-card__heading">Laws and Regulations</h2></header><div class="usa-card__media"><div class="usa-card__img"><img src="/sites/dolgov/files/WHD/images/dbra/6-LawsAndGuidance.jpg" alt="Your hours and pay - Essential workers"></div></div><div class="usa-card__body"><p>Review the laws and regulations.</p></div><div class="usa-card__footer"><a class="usa-button button-transition" href="/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction/laws">Learn More<span style="margin-top:-999em;position:absolute;"> about Laws and Regulations for FMLA</span></a></div></div></li></ul><h2>Online Training For Government Contracting Officials</h2><p>Online training is available to assist all federal, state and local contracting agencies with information on federal rules concerning prevailing wages and other labor law requirements.
