Electrician prevailing wage in Allegany County, New York
$75.68an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$47.00 base wage + $27.27 fringe benefits (supplements) · General construction
On New York public works in Allegany County, an electrician must be paid at least $75.68 an hour: a $47.00 base wage plus $27.27 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $75.68 is our sum of the two. Part of the benefit is a percentage of wages that this total leaves out, so treat it as a floor.
2026-27 schedules, with the October 1, 2026 updates; this rate, effective July 1, 2026. New York doesn't lock rates at bid: contractors pay the current prevailing rate, including the dated steps in the schedule, and monthly corrections retroactive to July 1 (NYSDOL). Checked against dol.ny.gov on October 25, 2026.
NYSDOL's posted schedules are informational. An original schedule must be requested for each project (PRC number).
This rate covers only part of Allegany County. NYSDOL's wording: “Only the Townships of Alma, Bolivar, Centerville, Clarksville, Cuba, Friendship, Genesee, New Hudson, Rushford, Wirt and that portion of the Townships of Amity, Angelica, Belfast, Caneadea and Scio that are west of the Genesee River.”
Base wage and fringe benefits: $47.00 + $27.27
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. NYSDOL prints the supplements as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.

| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $27.27 |

- NYSDOL posts error corrections and updates on the first business day of each month, and contractors pay them "retroactive to July 1" (NYSDOL). This page uses the 2026-27 schedules with the October 1, 2026 updates.

Davis-Bacon electrician rate in Allegany County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.
We don't put a federal figure next to NYSDOL's here, because the federal determination for this county has no matching classification. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
