Davis-Bacon Act - Michigan

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.

Michigan's Prevailing Wage law covers construction workers employed on state financed or sponsored construction projects. Under this act the Wage and Hour Division establishes wage and fringe benefit rates to be paid construction workers on state projects.
