Questions about Louisiana roofer pay

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

Yes. In East Baton Rouge Parish the $32.38 total is a $23.04 base wage plus $9.34 in fringe benefits, about 29% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does roofer 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 roofers 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 roofer rate?

DOL often publishes the same roofer rates for several localities. Across Louisiana, the 64 localities with a roofer rate fall into 44 distinct sets of rates, and 8 of those sets are shared by more than one parish; the largest covers 12 localities (the Morehouse Parish group).
