On New York public works in Nassau County, a telecommunications technician working as integrated tele-data system electrician must be paid at least $78.23 an hour: a $44.43 base wage plus $25.80 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $78.23 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 August 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: $44.43 + $25.80

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)	$25.80
Not itemized by NYSDOL	$8.00
Base + supplements (our sum; NYSDOL prints no total)	$78.23

NYSDOL's columns for this row add up to $70.23, $8.00 less than its published total of $78.23, and no footnote explains the difference. We show NYSDOL's total as published.

NYSDOL's data note: supplement includes 18.0% of the hourly wage (of Straight Time); computed on the straight-time base

Overtime

(B) Time and one half of the hourly rate after 8 hours per day

(E) Time and one half of the hourly rate on Saturday

(E2) Saturday may be used as a make-up day at straight time when a day is lost during that week due to inclement weather

(Q) Double the hourly rate on Sunday and Holidays

(V) Including benefits at SAME PREMIUM as shown for overtime

OVERTIME Supplemental Benefits Per Hour:

6% of the 18% of the above supplemental benefit to be calculated at OVERTIME WAGE PAID. The remaining 12% to be calculated at STRAIGHT TIME WAGE PAID.

Work over eight hours in a day or more than five days in a week is overtime at "a premium wage commensurate with the premium wages prevailing in the area" (Labor Law §220(2)). Each trade's rules are NYSDOL codes, copied here; they combine, so we don't compute overtime dollars.

When does this rate change?

New York rates aren't locked at bid. Each rate stays until its next printed effective date or the new annual determination on July 1, and contractors must pay the current rate (Article 8 schedules).
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.
