The U.S. Department of Labor has announced that its Wage and Hour Division will conduct online seminars aimed at contractors, contracting agencies, unions, workers, and other stakeholders. These seminars will focus on prevailing wage requirements for federally funded construction and service contracts in fiscal year 2025.

The division plans to host two-day seminars with sessions covering the Davis-Bacon Act, Service Contract Act, and related topics. Participants can choose from various sessions available on either day of the seminar.

Scheduled dates for these seminars are November 13-14, 2024, as well as March 18-19, June 25-26, and September 24-25 in 2025. The seminars aim to enhance awareness and compliance with federal wage regulations.

Wage and Hour Administrator Jessica Looman stated: “Prevailing wage laws empower workers by ensuring federally funded construction and service jobs are good jobs with fair wages and benefits.” She added that "the Biden-Harris administration’s historic investments in our nation’s infrastructure have significantly increased the number of federal and federally funded projects," emphasizing the division's commitment to ensuring stakeholders understand labor standards protections.

Attendance at these seminars is free; however, registration is required. Additional information including session links will be provided upon registration.
