Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Numerous states follow the federal Davis-Bacon regulations for their construction projects. Other states have used the federal Davis-Bacon Act to develop their own set of rules. Usually the state act is called the Little Davis-Bacon Act. How closely the state rules follow the Federal requirements vary from state-to-state.
Illinois is what is called a “fringe benefit” state. This means that the employer can receive credit for costs related to fringe benefits for employees up to the total fringe benefit total on a wage determination. Using the fringe benefit total, the benefits employees receive are left up to the employer.
Under state law, construction of public works includes any maintenance, repair, assembly, or disassembly work performed on equipment whether owned, leased, or rented.
