Prevailing wage laws require contractors and subcontractors to pay workers on public works projects the prevailing wage rate for their job classification in the local area where the work is performed. The claim typically arises when an employer pays workers less than the applicable prevailing wage rate or does not properly classify workers for the purposes of determining their prevailing wage rate.
