Non-Federal Prevailing Wage Rates. Any prevailing wage rate (including basic hourly rate and any fringe benefits), determined under state law to be prevailing, with respect to any employee in any trade or position employed under the Contract, is inapplicable to the contract and shall not be enforced against the Contractor or any subcontractor, with respect to employees engaged under the contract whenever such non-Federal prevailing wage rate, exclusive of any fringe benefits, exceeds the applicable wage rate determined by the Secretary of HUD to be prevailing in the locality with respect to such trade or position. unless the duration of the absence has been arranged in advance. All such reports must be given personally by the employee if he or she is able; otherwise, notice must be given by an adult member of the employee’s family or another responsible person. Failure to notify the employee’s supervisor and keep the supervisor informed as required herein may be regarded as an unauthorized absence.
