The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed by President Biden Nov. 15, 2021, will have a significant effect on those involved with federal construction contracts. Because most of the projects funded or assisted through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will be subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage labor standards, construction workers on these projects must be paid at least the locally prevailing wage and fringe benefits required for the work they perform, according to dol.gov.
To help contracting agencies, contractors, unions, workers and other stakeholders understand and meet Davis-Bacon compliance requirements, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division will present an interactive webinar, Davis-Bacon Labor Standards for Infrastructure Projects, Feb. 28 and March 1; participants can register for either date.
The webinar will offer an overview of the Davis-Bacon compliance requirements followed by a Q&A session. Participants can submit questions in advance or during the webinar. Attendance is free, but registration is required.
