Flagger prevailing wage, Erie County group, New York (53 counties)

NYSDOL sets the same flagger rates, row for row, in 53 counties: Albany, Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, Erie, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, Niagara, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange, Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Schuyler, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Steuben, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$28.16an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)

$16.20 base wage + $11.23 fringe benefits (supplements)

On New York public works in each of these 53 counties, a flagger must be paid at least $28.16 an hour: a $16.20 base wage plus $11.23 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $28.16 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).

Base wage and fringe benefits: $16.20 + $11.23

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.

Base wage (taxable)$16.20
Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized)$11.23
Not itemized by NYSDOL$0.73
Base + supplements (our sum; NYSDOL prints no total)$28.16

NYSDOL's columns for this row add up to $27.43, $0.73 less than its published total of $28.16, and no footnote explains the difference. We show NYSDOL's total as published.

NYSDOL's data note: supplement includes 4.5% of the hourly wage (hourly wage paid); computed on the straight-time base

Davis-Bacon flagger rates in these counties

The counties share NYSDOL's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. 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.
