Handbook 1344.1 <br />HUD-4010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development <br />Federal Labor Standards Provisions Office of Davis-Bacon and Labor Standards <br /> <br /> <br />A. APPLICABILITY <br />The Project or Program to which the construction work covered by this Contract pertains is being assisted by the United States <br />of America, and the following Federal Labor Standards Provisions are included in this Contract pursuant to the provisions <br />applicable to such Federal assistance. <br />(1) MINIMUM WAGES <br />(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid unconditionally and not less <br />often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions <br />as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full <br />amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment, computed at <br />rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary of Labor (which is attached hereto and <br />made a part hereof), regardless of any contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor <br />and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits <br />under Section 1(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such <br />laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv); also, regular contributions made or costs <br />incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, which <br />cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period. <br />Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination <br />for the classification of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(4). <br />Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for <br />each classification for the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer’s payroll records accurately set <br />forth the time spent in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any <br />additional classification and wage rates conformed under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(ii) and the Davis-Bacon poster (WH1321)) <br />shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a prominent and <br />accessible place, where it can be easily seen by the workers. <br />(ii) Additional Classifications. <br />(A) Any class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed <br />under the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. HUD shall approve an <br />additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have been met: <br />(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the wage <br />determination; <br />(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and <br />(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage <br />rates contained in the wage determination. <br />(B) If the contractor, the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or their <br />representatives, and HUD or its designee agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount <br />designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by HUD or its <br />designee to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division (“Administrator”), Employment Standards <br />Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized <br />representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action within 30 days of receipt <br />and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that additional time is <br />necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) under OMB control number 1235-0023.) <br />(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their representatives, <br />or HUD or its designee do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate (including the amount <br />designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), HUD or its designee shall refer the questions, including the <br />views of all interested parties and the recommendation of HUD or its designee, to the Administrator for <br />determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a determination within 30 days of <br />receipt and so advise HUD or its designee or will notify HUD or its designee within the 30-day period that <br />additional time is necessary. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number <br />1235-0023.) <br />
