Plasterer prevailing wage, Tompkins County group, New York (2 counties)
NYSDOL sets the same plasterer rates, row for row, in 2 counties: Cortland and Tompkins. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$49.85an hour, base wage + fringe benefits (our sum)
$30.71 base wage + $19.14 fringe benefits (supplements) · Residential · Residential
On New York public works in each of these 2 counties, a plasterer must be paid at least $49.85 an hour: a $30.71 base wage plus $19.14 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $49.85 is our sum of the two.
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: $30.71 + $19.14
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) | $30.71 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $19.14 |
| Base + supplements (our sum; NYSDOL prints no total) | $49.85 |
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.
