Questions about Tennessee plumber or pipefitter pay

What is the plumber or pipefitter prevailing wage in Shelby County?

$37.26 an hour: a $26.86 base wage plus $10.40 in fringe benefits, under wage determination TN20260200, modification 1. Overtime and every plumber or pipefitter classification in Shelby County.

Does plumber or pipefitter prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Shelby County the $37.26 total is a $26.86 base wage plus $10.40 in fringe benefits, about 28% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does plumber or pipefitter prevailing wage pay overtime in Tennessee?

Davis-Bacon rates are straight time. On contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires 1½ times the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (40 U.S.C. 3702). The fringe is owed for every hour at its straight-time amount.

Do apprentice plumber or pipefitters get this rate?

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 plumber or pipefitter rate?

DOL often publishes the same plumber or pipefitter rates for several counties. Across Tennessee, the 95 counties with a plumber or pipefitter rate fall into 75 distinct sets of rates, and 20 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 2 counties (the Bradley County group).
