Question: How do we determine what the new prevailing wage rates are in our area?
Answer: All prevailing wage rates will need to be reexamined to
assess the impact of the increase in the minimum wage. Your facility should
contact the sources from which you originally obtained prevailing wage rate
information to determine the effect of the increase of the statutory minimum
wage, or, if necessary, obtain this information from new sources. Once you
have this information, you should adjust the wage rates of workers with
disabilities no later than the next full pay period after the prevailing
wage rates are reexamined. You should make sure that the data you collect
on wage rates reflects the changes in the statutory minimum wage and advise
the sources accordingly. As with all prevailing wage surveys, you should
also document these contacts and have this information available for review
by the Wage and Hour Division. These procedures are required under sections
525.9(b)(2),
525.10,
525.12(f),
and 525.16(c)
of the regulations.
