PREVAILING WAGE 
ABC is working on submitting legislative changes to reform Prevailing Wage law.

If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Megan Jackson, Government Affairs Liaison. 

Legal Reminder 

ALLProjects at Legends at the Sparks Marina are subject to Prevailing Wage

Break the Law Pay the Price! 

All Legends at the Sparks Marina projects are subject to Prevailing Wage because they are in the TID (Tourism Improvement District) boundaries as defined by the STAR Bonds approved to support Scheels.  This explains why Target is a Prevailing Wage project, as well as the recent bids being solicited to build an Olive Garden and a Banana Republic in Legends.  If you have any questions please contact Clara at the ABC office.  We want all projects to remain free of any misunderstanding and FINES!

Q1. When was the state prevailing wage law adopted (or repealed) and most recently amended?
A1.Adopted in 1937. Last amended in 2005.

Q2. Have there been any recent challenges to enforcement of the state prevailing wage law?
A2. See Labor Commissioner v. Littlefield  (Nev. 2007), holding that the Labor Commissioner’s deletion of particular classifications from the annual prevailing wages list constituted rulemaking and required compliance with Nevada's Administrative Procedures Act.

Q3. What is the monetary threshold for coverage?
A3. $100,000.

Q4. Does the law cover more than "construction" work, and if so, what type of work has been found to be included or excluded from such coverage of "construction."
A4. The law does not cover anything outside of construction work. The definition of construction includes new construction, repair, and reconstruction as defined in NRS 338.015.

Q5. How is the prevailing wage determined?
A5. Pursuant to NAC 338.010, the state Labor Commissioner conducts annual surveys of recognized classifications to determine the prevailing rate, adopting the rate paid for a majority of the total hours of workers on reported projects, or the rate paid for 40% of such hours, or a weighted average if neither of the first two applies.

Q6. Are job duties published and are there any special work assignment restrictions?
A6. The Labor Commissioner’s office publishes job descriptions for recognized classifications of workmen, though the duties listed are not comprehensive. See http://www.laborcommissioner.com/08rates/carson.html. It is recommended that nonunion contractors should contact the Commissioner’s Office to determine whether any hidden work assignment restrictions apply, particularly to the extent that specific wage determinations appear to be based upon union wage scales.
