Common use of Classifications Not Included in the Wage Decision Clause in Contracts

Classifications Not Included in the Wage Decision. If a classification not in the wage decision is required, please advise the owner’s representative in writing and identify the job classification(s) required. In some instances, the State agency may allow the use of a similar classification in the wage decision. Otherwise, the contractor and affected workers must agree on a minimum rate, which cannot be lower than the lowest rate for any trade in the wage decision. Laborers (including any subcategory of the laborer classification) and truck drivers are not considered a trade for this purpose. If the classification involves a power equipment operator, the minimum cannot be lower than the lowest rate for any power equipment operator in the wage decision. The ownerwill provide forms to document agreement on the minimum rate by the affected workers and contractor. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) must approve the proposed classification and rate. The contractor may pay the proposed rate until the USDOL makes a determination. Should the USDOL require a higher rate, the contractor must make wage restitution to the affected worker(s) for all hours worked under the proposed rate.
