The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) provide labor standards
protections to employees who perform work on contracts with the Federal
Government in excess of $2,000 for construction, reconstruction and remodeling,
including painting and decorating. Covered contracts will contain a list of
prevailing wages, including fringe benefits where appropriate, that must be
paid to laborers and mechanics who perform on the contracts.
Unlike the FLSA and McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act (SCA), the
DBRA contain no provisions that allow for the payment of special minimum
wages to individuals with disabilities. All laborers and mechanics performing
work subject to the DBRA are entitled to receive the full wage determination
rate and fringe benefits for the job classification(s) actually
performed—regardless of the quality or quantity of their performance.
All laborers, mechanics, guards and watchmen—with or without
disabilities— performing on DBRA contracts in excess of $100,000 are also
entitled to overtime pay under the Contract Work Hours Safety Standards Act
(CWHSSA).
