My question is, my company is stating that $1.50 will be withheld from each employee and given to a apprentice working on the site. We were told if there were 3 or more technicians on a prevailing wage job, that at apprentice is required, and $ is withheld for that apprentice.
This job site is a new courthouse in Las Vegas and confirmed its prevailing wage.
Is this accurate info we have been given???

In this case, should the apprentice be paid 50% of the DBA wage determination or 50% of the CBA wage? ...Read More
