Hello, my husband works for a company in Ohio that cleans large HVAC systems for large businesses and government buildings. Allot of there jobs are government contracts. When he asks leadership about prevailing wages when they work government buildings there answer is always they didn't put it in the bid and that's why they got the job. Which I thought was not legal. He recently started a job for the Ross county correctional institution and was told he would be getting prevailing wage since it's again a government job. However today on his paycheck he has his normal rate under the prevailing wage hours. When he asked about this to his boss he was told that they had to list it that way to separate the hours but that the prevailing wages are less then his hourly wage. But when I looked that information up everything I'm finding says something completely different and that the actual prevailing wages are anywhere from $8 to $15 dollars more an hour on top of his hourly rate. We are at a complete loss and don't know what we can do to get the correct information or how we can make this right. I'm hoping you can help lead us in the right direction and tell me if this is something that's legit or are they doing something illegal. Thank you...Read More
Good afternoon,
Is there any PW requirement the calls out removing more moveable or portable equipment to a vendor's shop for a repair? We have all sorts of repairs made on site that require PW and have never heard of this. The vendor wants to remove small art kilns to their shop for standard repairs saying its a PW requirement. All such repairs have previously been made successfully on site.
Is this new or just a confused small business owner?
Thank you,

So does prevailing wage include the union base pay plus health & wellness and pension in the hourly wage? My employer pays only the union base pay with no fringe benefits included. He also deducts what he pays for health insurance which I believe is standard. He matches 3% to our 401k just FYI, not sure if he is able to deduct more for that reason. My wage is 39/hr and he paid me 29.75/hr for a prevailing wage job in McLean County as a Glazier. Hope you can give me some clarification cuz my buddy is saying it should have been close to 60/hr. I don't want to get worked up for no reason. Also, my employer stated that doing service on prevailing jobs does not qualify for prevailing wage, only new installs does. Does standard maintenance on prevailing sites include prevailing wage? ...Read More
