The Wage Rate Schedule #476 effective September 19, 2011 will be available to the public on the Department's website on Friday, September 16, 2011. It is always important for contractors to check the classifications of laborers and mechanics they employ to make sure current rates are being paid. This is a major difference between State and county public works and federal public works. On State and county public works projects contractors are required to pay the most current rate regardless of the date when the project was awarded. This differs with federal public works projects where only one wage rate schedule is issued for the duration of the project.
Wage Rate Schedule #476 will not have a separate classification of Fence Erector (chain-link). Hawaii law (see Section 104-2(a)(2), Hawaii Revised Statutes) states that Hawaii rates can not be less than the federal rate for the same classifications. The federal wage rate schedule has removed the classification and Fence Erector (chain-link) is being removed from the State list as well. Work that was formerly classified as Fence Erector (chain-link) will now be considered Laborer II work.
