III. Prevailing Wage Rates
What wage rates must be paid to supervisory employees (foremen, superintendents, etc.)
employed on a covered project?
The wage rates for bona fide supervisory employees are not regulated under
the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts because their duties are primarily administrative or
executive in nature rather than those of laborers or mechanics. However,
such employees who devote more than 20 percent of their time during a workweek
to mechanic or laborer duties are laborers and mechanics for the time so
spent, and must be paid at least the appropriate wage rates specified in
the wage determination. Employees who are bona fide executive, administrative,
or professional employees as defined under the Fair Labor Standards Act
at 29 CFR
Part 541 are not covered by the Davis-Bacon Act.
