Prevailing Wage, Monitored For You

We monitor DIR prevailing wage determinations and apply them to every classification on your job — so your crews are paid at the correct rate.

DIR DETERMINATIONSMonitored by our consultants

Wage determinations change more often than you'd think.

California's Department of Industrial Relations updates prevailing wage determinations regularly, and paying the wrong rate for even one classification can turn into a costly wage claim. We monitor current determinations for the trades on your job and check them against what's being paid, so you're not left tracking regulatory updates on top of running your crews.

FAQ

Common Questions

How often do prevailing wage rates change?+
DIR wage determinations can change several times a year depending on the craft and region. We monitor updates so your project always reflects the current rate.
What happens if a worker's classification is unclear?+
We flag any worker whose craft doesn't clearly map to a published determination, so it can be resolved before payroll is filed rather than after.
Does this cover both state and federal prevailing wage?+
Yes — we work with both California DIR determinations and federal Davis-Bacon rates for projects that require either or both.
Can you help if we're already facing a wage claim?+
Yes. We can assemble a clear, dated record of rates paid versus rates required, which is exactly what's needed to respond to a claim or audit request.
