Questions about Iowa pile driver pay

What is the pile driver prevailing wage in Polk County?

$52.43 an hour: a $33.80 base wage plus $18.63 in fringe benefits, under wage determination IA20260028, modification 4. Overtime and every pile driver classification in Polk County.

Does pile driver prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Polk County the $52.43 total is a $33.80 base wage plus $18.63 in fringe benefits, about 36% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does pile driver prevailing wage pay overtime in Iowa?

Davis-Bacon rates are straight time. On contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires 1½ times the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (40 U.S.C. 3702). The fringe is owed for every hour at its straight-time amount.

Do apprentice pile drivers get this rate?

Davis-Bacon determinations list journeyworker rates. Apprentices in a program registered with DOL or a recognized state agency can be paid the program's percentage of the rate, within its ratio; anyone else gets the full rate (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)).

Which county pays pile drivers the most in Iowa?

Scott County, at $66.61 an hour for the main classification. The lowest is Dubuque County at $49.70, and the median county is $52.43.
