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.
Missouri is a Davis-Bacon State.
Missouri's Prevailing Wage Law establishes a minimum wage rate that must be paid to workers on public works construction projects in Missouri, such as bridges, roads and government buildings. The prevailing wage rate differs by county and for different types of work. The Division of Labor Standards provides prevailing wage rates to public bodies each year in an Annual Wage Order, and to the Missouri State Highway and Transportation Commission in the form of the General Wage Order.
