One rate, fringe benefits included: $96.37
Labor Commissioner publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $96.37. Labor Commissioner doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.
Zone pay on top of this rate: Zone 2 (30 to 49 miles) +$3.00; Zone 3 (50 to 100 miles) +$6.00; Zone 4 (Over 100 miles) +$9.00
