Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Davis-Bacon Act mandates prevailing local wages and wage classification strategies for government contractors working on federally funded construction projects. The Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act regulates the working conditions and wages of employees working on federal contracts. The Fair Labor Standards Act establishes a minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor standards for most employees working in the private sector and in federal, state, and local governments. The Equal Pay Act prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on gender by paying them different wages for doing the same job. However, none of these acts specifically mandate prevailing local wages and wage classification strategies for government contractors like the Davis-Bacon Act does.
