Department of Labor Schedules Latest Prevailing Wage Conferences

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has scheduled five upcoming conferences throughout the country to educate federal contractors on the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and other federal contracting wage laws the agency enforces.  Each two-and-a-half day conference will address such topics as the process of obtaining wage determinations and adding classifications, compliance assistance and enforcement processes, and the process of appealing wage rates.  The conferences will also address issues pertaining to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The upcoming conferences will be held on the following dates:
  • May 10-12 in Melbourne, Fla.;
  • May 24-26 in New York City;
  • July 12-14 in Phoenix;
  • August 2-4 in Denver; and
  • August 16-18 in Las Vegas.
Because this is not an AGC-affiliated event, interested parties should contact WHD at 1-866-487-9243 or whdpwc@dol.gov for more information or to register.
