What does an employer do if the contractor is working in different counties with different wage determinations and different rates for the same classification of worker?
The payment of DBA wages is based upon the site where the weatherization work is performed. If an employer is performing weatherization work in different counties with differing wage rates, the employer must assure that the employee is paid at least the prevailing wage rate that applies where the work is performed. You may pay the workers at the highest county wage for all work performed in all the counties to make the record keeping simpler. Davis-Bacon wage rates are the minimum that must be paid.
