DIR general determination 232-81-3, issued August 22, 2026. Expires July 31, 2027. Checked against dir.ca.gov on October 24, 2026.

DIR lists 2 roofer rates for each of these counties, from $80.28 to $82.28 an hour. See all of them.

Base wage and fringe: $50.75 + $29.53

The basic hourly rate is the taxable wage. The other lines, usually called fringe benefits, are what DIR expects the employer to pay into health, pension and other plans for each hour worked. An employer can pay part of that as extra wages instead, as long as the total per hour stays at $80.28 or more.

Basic hourly rate (taxable wage)	$50.75
Health and welfare	$13.00
Pension	$10.30
Vacation and holiday	$5.00
Training	$0.74
Other payments	$0.49
Total straight-time hourly rate	$80.28

Straight time covers an 8-hour day.

Davis-Bacon roofer rates in these counties

The counties share DIR's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. When a California awarding body runs a federally funded or assisted project, DIR's rates must be paid where they are higher than the Davis-Bacon rates (DIR public works FAQ).

DIR releases since 2024Increases DIR has already set

DIR has already set these increases. Work on or after each date is paid the higher rate. DIR often leaves part of an increase "to be allocated to wages and/or employer payments" and confirms the split when it comes due, and it can reduce a scheduled increase in a later notice, so check DIR's increase page before you pay it.

Takes effect	Increase per hour	Total after increase
August 1, 2027	+$4.00	$84.28

The double asterisk after DIR's expiration date means the next rate is already set. If the work runs past that date you have to pay the new rate, and DIR says to build it into contracts signed now (DIR FAQ, Q8).

Footnotes on this rate

DIR's footnotes, in DIR's words. Several change the rate itself: zone pay, a percentage added to the total, or which overtime hours get which rate.

L Rate applies to the first 4 daily overtime hours and the first 12 hours worked on Saturday; all other time is paid at the Sunday and holiday overtime hourly rate.
AU Rate applies to first 12 hours on Saturday; all other time is paid at the Sunday and holiday overtime hourly rate. Saturdays in the same workweek may be worked at straight-time if the job is shut down for 1 or more days during the normal workweek due to adverse weather conditions.

DIR's other marks: # means an apprenticeable craft, * means in effect until superseded, ** means the next rate is already set.

Are you being paid this rate?

Add your hourly wage to what your employer pays into health, pension and other plans for you, and compare it with $80.28. Plan payments only count if the money goes into the plan; your pay stub won't show them, but plan statements will. The training amount goes to the California Apprenticeship Council or an apprenticeship program, not to you. Check a week of pay.

Contractors on most public works jobs file certified payroll with the state, and anyone can look it up in DIR's CPR public search. If your total comes up short, you can file a public works complaint with the California Labor Commissioner.
