Almost all federal contracts for construction are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires contractors to pay their employees the prevailing wage and fringe benefits for their region. Likewise, the vast majority of contracts for services are subject to the Service Contract Act, which also requires the payment of prevailing wages and fringe benefits. Between them, these two acts govern an enormous proportion of the funds expended by the federal government, and are of critical importance to service and construction contractors alike.
In this webinar, experienced government contracting attorney Maria Panichelli, will discuss some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Davis-Bacon and the Service Contract Act including: How are wage determinations made? What happens when a new wage determination is issued during the course of the contract? What wage rates apply to workers that are not specifically classified under the existing wage determination? What wage requirements apply to subcontractors on federal contracts? What liability is an employer exposed to by failure to comply with Davis-Bacon and the SCA? Come learn how these requirements really work and how to avoid common pitfalls that many government contractors encounter in attempting to maintain compliance with these laws.
