Understanding prevailing wage overtime rules
Prevailing wage overtime rules can be complex. Contractors are required to pay the proper prevailing wage rates on public works projects, including overtime. Here are a few example rules related to overtime:
- All work over 8 hours per day earns time and a half the base rate
- All work over 40 hours per week earns time and a half
- All work over 12 hours per day earns double time
- Weekends and qualifying holidays require overtime for all hours worked
- Shift differentials may apply
