DIR's expiration date for this determination was March 31, 2021. DIR hasn't issued a replacement, so this rate still applies, which is what the single asterisk on DIR's table means. A project keeps the rates in effect on its bid advertisement date for the life of the job.

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.

a Employer Payments: The credit for employer payments do not have to be computed on an annualized basis where the employer seeks credit for employer payments that are higher for public works projects than private construction performed by the same employer. The director determined that annualization would not serve the purpose of this chapter pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1773.1(d)(4).
b Includes amount for Vacation/ Holiday and Dues Check Off.
c Included in straight-time hourly rate.
d Rate applies to the first 2 daily overtime hours and the first 8 hours on Saturday only; All other time is paid at the Sunday and Holiday overtime hourly rate.

DIR's other marks: # means an apprenticeable craft, * means in effect until superseded, ** means the next rate is already set.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 $48.04. 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.
