$120.81an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$70.38 base wage + $26.85 fringe benefits (supplements)
On New York public works in each of these 14 counties, a boilermaker must be paid at least $120.81 an hour: a $70.38 base wage plus $26.85 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $120.81 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.
