The Solution

How the Prevailing Wage Plan Works

If you are an open-shop contractor working on public projects, you are required to provide 100% of the local Prevailing Wage on public projects, but you may choose to pay only the Basr Rate in cash.

By contributing the Fringe Benefit Rate in the Davis-Bacon Pension Plan & Trust you save the amount you would have paid in payroll taxes, *workers compensation and insurance premiums on those funds.
