The Department of Labor and Industry, through the Bureau of Labor Law Compliance, determines prevailing wage rates for the construction industry and enforces the rates and classifications under heavy, highway and building construction projects of $25,000 or more when public funds are involved.
Prevailing wage is determined by wage and benefit surveys of the local construction market that are conducted periodically by the Department of Labor for federally funded projects, or annually by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development for state and local projects.
