I don't think it matters how many layers are between the person working and the 
government body, the worker still has to meet those wage thresholds.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] prevailing wage 


My part er is informal. I have his 1099, he gets 50 percent after expenses, one 
of those expenses is operator pay. On PW jobs am I allowed to have 1099, or 
would I have to put him on payroll? I don't have any actual payroll right now. 
Last year I ended up having my accountant stop submitting because other than my 
son I didn't have any and this year I still didn't have enout to reach back 
out. 
I don't know anything about this stuff

Prevailing wage is the state equivalent of federal Davis Bacon. 
Typically, your state's Dept of Labor maintains the schedules. 
You have to get the rates and make sure the workers get paid the rate 
and then retain the documentation in case of claim or objection. Part of 
my town administrator job is running our town owned wisp. 
the only workaround is hiring a sole proprietor or using your own 
laborforce.
