Davis-Bacon plumber or pipefitter rate in Clinton County

Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.

We don't put a federal figure next to IDOL's here, because the federal determination lists more than one rate for this trade here. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.

Generally, any of these holidays which fall on a Sunday is celebrated on the following Monday. This then makes work performed on that Monday payable at the appropriate overtime rate for holiday pay.
