SESSION INFORMATION
From Compliance to Competitiveness: Revamped DBA Rule Reshapes Labor Landscape for Construction Contractors
In 2023, the Department of Labor implemented the largest overhaul of the Davis-Bacon Act in over 40 years. For construction contractors employing laborers and mechanics in the construction industry, DOL’s changes will significantly affect how to determine prevailing wage rates, handle misclassifications, and expand the site of work, among other critical changes. With more opportunities for work due to federal funding aimed at infrastructure, semiconductor plants, and clean energy projects, construction contractors need to comply with these changes in order to bid for and maintain contracts.
Learning Objectives
This session explores the revamped Davis-Bacon Act and will cover:
1. the most crucial changes;
2. impact on commercial companies; and
3. common compliance issues.
Learning Units
This virtual session offers one (1) Professional Development Hour (PDH) certified by the SAME DC Post for registered participants. Please note that not all organizations or jurisdictions accept PDH certificates for continuing education units; check with your reporting organization for compliance.
