If a project has both a federal and state prevailing wage rate determination, what wage rate must be paid if different wage rates have been determined for the same trade or occupation?
The higher of the two wage rates must generally be paid. However, wage rates determined pursuant to Wisconsin’s prevailing wage rate laws on some housing projects are not enforceable if they are higher than the wage rates determined by the federal government, pursuant to the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
