Questions about Louisiana insulator pay

What is the insulator prevailing wage in East Baton Rouge Parish?

$42.52 an hour: a $32.66 base wage plus $9.86 in fringe benefits, under wage determination LA20260035, modification 1. Overtime and every insulator classification in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Does insulator prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In East Baton Rouge Parish the $42.52 total is a $32.66 base wage plus $9.86 in fringe benefits, about 23% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does insulator prevailing wage pay overtime in Louisiana?

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 insulators 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 localities have the same insulator rate?

DOL often publishes the same insulator rates for several localities. Across Louisiana, the 64 localities with an insulator rate fall into 38 distinct sets of rates, and 9 of those sets are shared by more than one parish; the largest covers 12 localities (the Morehouse Parish group).
