$60.53an hour, base wage + fringe benefits

On California public works in each of these 12 counties, a terrazzo finisher must be paid at least $60.53 an hour in total: $45.13 in wages plus $15.40 in employer payments to health, pension, training and other funds. Daily overtime is $83.10 and Sunday and holiday work is $105.66.
DIR general determination 018-18-2, issued August 22, 2025 and still current in DIR's 2026-2 release. Checked against dir.ca.gov on October 24, 2026.
DIR's expiration date for this determination was August 31, 2026. 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.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $45.13 + $15.40
The basic hourly rate is the taxable wage. The other lines, the fringe benefits DIR calls employer payments, 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 $60.53 or more.
| Basic hourly rate (taxable wage) (footnote H) | $45.13 |
| Health and welfare | $9.25 |
| Pension | $4.71 |
| Training | $1.11 |
| Other payments | $0.33 |
| Total straight-time hourly rate | $60.53 |
Vacation and holiday is $0.00 in DIR's table. Footnote S says where that money is counted.
Straight time covers an 8-hour day.
When does this rate change?
- A project pays the rates in effect on its bid advertisement date for the life of the job, plus any increase DIR set in advance (DIR FAQ).
- DIR issues new determinations on February 22 and August 22, and they take effect 10 days later. This rate is from determination 018-18-2, issued August 22, 2025.

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 $60.53. 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.
