Upcoming WHD Seminar on Federal Prevailing Wage Requirements

---

In August, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) will host an online seminar for contracting agencies, contractors, unions, workers, and other stakeholders to learn about federal requirements for paying prevailing wages and benefits on federally funded construction and service contracts.

This day-long seminar aims to increase awareness and compliance with labor standards under the Davis-Bacon Act and the Service Contract Act. The seminar will cover how prevailing wages are set and administered, among other topics, and will be held on August 29 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT.

WHD’s Administrator Jessica Looman emphasized the importance of prevailing wage laws in ensuring fair wages and benefits for workers on federally funded projects, especially in light of the Biden-Harris administration’s infrastructure investments.

Participation is free, but registration is required.
