How is overtime calculated on a public works project?
Overtime is calculated by multiplying the hourly basic rate of pay, listed on the prevailing wage rate determination for the trade performed by the worker by 1.5. If the worker’s normal rate of pay is higher than the hourly basic rate of pay on the prevailing wage rate determination the worker must be paid time and one-half at their normal rate of pay. In either event the amount specified for fringe benefits on the prevailing wage rate determination is required to be paid on all hours worked but not at time and one-half. The practice of “banking” overtime hours is prohibited.
