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 sheet metal workers 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)).

Why do some counties have the same sheet metal worker rate?

DOL often publishes the same sheet metal worker rates for several counties. Across Kentucky, the 120 counties with a sheet metal worker rate fall into 52 distinct sets of rates, and 14 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 16 counties (the Floyd County group).
