In Florida, you do have obligations under Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. You will want to look at the wage and benefit rates listed on the general Davis-Bacon Wage Decision for the lowest specialized trade that most closely resembles the trade in question, and pay no less than that rate. For example, if you are a carpentry contractor and can’t find carpenters listed on the FL wage decision, you need to find another specialized trade (plumbing for example) and must pay no lower than the Prevailing Wage for that trade. Once the special determination is provided, if you paid lower than what was decided upon, you must correct your payroll.
