Does elevator constructor 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 elevator constructors 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 elevator constructor rate?

DOL often publishes the same elevator constructor rates for several localities. Across Louisiana, the 11 localities with an elevator constructor rate fall into 8 distinct sets of rates, and 1 of those sets are shared by more than one parish; the largest covers 4 localities (the St. Charles Parish group).
