The Wage Rate Schedule (WRS) for laborers and mechanics on public works construction jobs effective February 18, 2013, is posted on the DLIR Website at http://labor.hawaii.gov/rs/home/wages/72-2/. By law (Section 104-2, HRS), the Director is required to issue the current prevailing wages for the duration of the project. Contractors are required to pay the amounts that are currently prevailing whenever a new WRS is issued. This means that as of Monday, WRS Bulletin 481 rates will apply to all laborers and mechanics on state and county construction public works. Remember Monday is a state holiday, so the rate is 1.5 times the basic hourly rate plus the fringe benefit amount to get the overtime rate for each classification!
