Questions about Wisconsin electrician pay

What is the electrician prevailing wage in Milwaukee County?

$79.12 an hour: a $50.86 base wage plus $28.26 in fringe benefits, under wage determination WI20260001, modification 1. Overtime and every electrician classification in Milwaukee County.

Does electrician prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Milwaukee County the $79.12 total is a $50.86 base wage plus $28.26 in fringe benefits, about 36% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does electrician prevailing wage pay overtime in Wisconsin?

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 electricians 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 electrician rate?

DOL often publishes the same electrician rates for several counties. Across Wisconsin, the 72 counties with an electrician rate fall into 41 distinct sets of rates, and 11 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 9 counties (the Barron County group).
