I'm working for a union company that does private jobs as well.
I make 29$ an hour regular and 38$ prevailing wage and I've been noticing that if i do 4 hours regular pay and 6 hours prevailing wage jobs at the same day i get no overtime at all and when i asked them about it they said that it's 2 different job sites and both pay differently i just want to ask is this the law? Cause basically I'm loosing all the overtime

Five year contract began in 2018. The prevailing wage rate sheet has three rates : one for 7/2017 (year before we began contract or were awarded it)
7/2018 and 7/2019.
The most updated rate sheet for the contract has 3 annual rate increases beginning with 7/2021 through 7/2023. This rate sheet was not made available. Nobody can answer my question at the employer and they do not have the most updated sheet posted. Neither rate sheet has a pay rate for the year 7/2020. The rate sheet provide at beginning of contract and only sheet provided or posted contains rate for 7/2017 which is a year prior to our work there. Strange that neither sheet contains 2020 rates and would like to know if this is irregular/ why have we not had rate increase since 2029 despite annual increases during duration of five year contract
MassachusettsI have a question about submitting payroll when the contractor is doing the job for a lump sum of money. Should they figure what the hourly rate would be by dividing the lump sum amount by the number of hours worked?
Then that hourly rate would be recorded on the their payroll sheet with the number of hours from that week?
OhioEverything I can find says if it's a government, or ODOT job truck drivers are to receive prevailing wage as well as long as they spend 15 mins or longer delivering or removing product to the job site
OregonWhere are the lines for who gets prevailing wage and who doesn't, on a job? Examples: If I am programming a bunch of cameras at our office that will be taken to the job-site, should I get paid a prevailing wage rate for that job? If a salary employee goes out to the job-site to work, do they get a differential? If I go on-site but in an administrative capacity, to plan cable pathways or instruct a sub-contractor on what they will be doing, do I get prevailing wage? I find a lot of conflicting answers in Google searching. Thank you.

Nevadaok - question... my husband is a driver for a construction company - they build solar structures at school as other sites. When he is working on site - should he as a driver who loads and unloads machines and materials be paid prevailing wage? He brought it up to his supervisor one time because someone mentioned it to him and while he was working - but he was quickly shut down when he asked about it.
We were just wondering how to find out.
Thank you
CaliforniaWe are on a prevailing wage (PW) job in PA. Our employer just started only paying PW wages for certain tasks. I thought if you were on site working it didn’t matter what type of task you were doing, you should be paid PW. Can you please advise.
PennsylvaniaIf I bill for stored materials and do not start at the jobsite until 6 weeks later, do I need to submit no work payrolls for the 6 weeks prior to being on the actual jobsite?
TexasI want to make sure i did payroll correctly for a job we were subcontracted on in Shasta County CA
CaliforniaI worked on a public works job where the prevailing wage was less than my union package amount. However, the prevailing amount was more than the base package pay. Should I have gotten the higher amount no matter the total of my union package? The prevailing rate was $34 and our hourly pay was $24.90 with overall package being $35 hr. We were paid standard rate being told that the $34 didn’t exceed the package. The package difference isn’t subtracted from prevailing jobs that are much higher. The prevailing wage is the on check wage.
