Subpart B

Interpretation of the Fringe Benefits Provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act

• Section Number: 5.22
• Section Name: Effect of the Davis-Bacon fringe benefits provisions.

    The Davis-Bacon Act and the prevailing wage provisions of the 
related statutes listed in Sec. 1.1 of this subtitle confer upon the 
Secretary of Labor the authority to predetermine, as minimum wages, 
those wage rates found to be prevailing for corresponding classes of 
laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to 
the contract work in the area in which the work is to be performed. See 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of Sec. 1.2 of this subtitle. The fringe benefits 
amendments enlarge the scope of this authority by including certain bona 
fide fringe benefits within the meaning of the terms ``wages'', ``scale 
of wages'', ``wage rates'', ``minimum wages'' and ``prevailing wages'', 
as used in the Davis-Bacon Act.
