Covered Employees

The overall purpose of the prevailing wage law is to protect and benefit employees on public works projects. Determining whether an employee falls under the protection of these laws can be a complex excercise involving statutory analysis, interpretation of opinion letters, review of industry practices, and familiarity with historical industry practices. The standards change depending upon whether the work at issue is funded with state or federal monies. Businesses rely on Cook Brown to assist them in assertaining which of their employees is entitled to prevailing wage.
