What is the laborer prevailing wage in Greenville County?

Does laborer prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Does laborer prevailing wage pay overtime in South Carolina?

Davis-Bacon determinations list journeyworker rates. Apprentices in a program registered with DOL or a recognized state agency can be paid the program's percentage of the rate, within its ratio; anyone else gets the full rate (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)).

Why do some counties have the same laborer rate?

DOL often publishes the same laborer rates for several counties. Across South Carolina, the 46 counties with a laborer rate fall into 42 distinct sets of rates, and 2 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 4 counties (the Marion County group).
