Did Your Employer Not Pay You the Prevailing Wage
When You Worked on Public Works Projects?
he prevailing wage is the wage and benefit rate set by law for employers of contractors working on public projects. The prevailing wage may be greater than minimum wage. This applies to all laborers, workers or mechanics employed under a public work contract. If you were underpaid, you may be entitled to back pay, liquidated damages and attorney fees.
The wage rules apply to both your past and current employers. And the rules apply even if your employment was terminated, if you resigned, if you were paid “off the books”, or if you were an undocumeurrent worker.
PLEASE: Do not assume or jump to the conclusion that you are not owed any wages. This is
T
a legal decision that must be determined by a labor and employment lawyer. This is why we offer a free, confidential consultation. In many cases, employees do not know that they are being paid less than they are owed. You might be surprised to discover that a past or current employer owes you significant wages and damages, for not paying you what you were owed. In addition, the law says your employer cannot retaliate against you for asserting your right to wages that you should have been paid.
