Labor Department Schedules Prevailing Wage Seminars for 2015

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has scheduled five upcoming seminars throughout the country to educate federal and federally assisted contractors on the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and other federal contracting wage laws the agency enforces.  Each two-and-a-half day seminar will address such topics as the process of obtaining wage determinations and adding classifications, compliance assistance and enforcement procedures, and the process of appealing wage rates.  Topics for a series of special sessions on the final day of the seminars will be announced on site.

The upcoming seminars will be held on the following dates:

  • July 14-16 in Charlotte, NC;
  • July 28-30 in Wichita, KS;
  • August 11-13 in Colorado Springs, CO;
  • August 25-27 in Baltimore, MD; and
  • September 15-17 in Sacramento, CA.

Interested participants should email their name, title, company name, mailing address, email address and phone number, along with the date and location of the seminar they are interested in attending, to whdpws@dol.gov.  A confirmation email will be sent to registrants who have been accepted to participate.  There is no cost to attend, but space is limited.

Because this is not an AGC-affiliated event, interested parties should contact WHD at 1-866-487-9243 for more information.
