Questions about Wisconsin roofer pay

What is the roofer prevailing wage in Milwaukee County?

$21.29 an hour: a $18.01 base wage plus $3.28 in fringe benefits, under wage determination WI20260001, modification 1. Overtime and every roofer classification in Milwaukee County.

Does roofer prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Milwaukee County the $21.29 total is a $18.01 base wage plus $3.28 in fringe benefits, about 15% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does roofer 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 roofers 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 roofer rate?

DOL often publishes the same roofer rates for several counties. Across Wisconsin, the 72 counties with a roofer rate fall into 21 distinct sets of rates, and 6 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 47 counties (the Walworth County group).
