An at-a-glance Chart identifying which of the 50 states require contractors on publicly funded public works projects to provide hourly compensation valued at no less than the prevailing wage in the area for the type of work performed. The chart also details the contract value thresholds for prevailing wage law obligations, how fringe benefits are counted within the prevailing wage calculations, and the state agencies monitoring payment obligations. The chart does not cover all state law obligations associated with contracts on public works projects, such as certain notice, posting, and recordkeeping requirements for employers. The chart also does not cover the federal Davis-Bacon Act and McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act or local laws, which may impose different or additional prevailing wage payment obligations.
