The Missouri Labor Department announced last week that the state prevailing wage rates have been established and are now in effect for use on all Missouri public works constructions projects.
The Annual Wage Order contains prevailing wage rates for each occupational title in each county and the city of St. Louis. The prevailing wage is the minimum rate that must be paid to workers on public works construction projects in Missouri such as bridges, roads, schools and government buildings.
Annual Wage Order No. 17 is now in effect. To find out more about the Missouri Labor Department, visit www.labor.mo.gov.
Any employees working on Missouri public works construction not receiving the correct prevailing wage rate may obtain a complaint form at http://www.labor.mo.gov/dls/Forms/PW-6-AI.pdf and e-mail the completed form to prevailingwage@labor.mo.gov or call 573-751-3403
