Analysis
Authority for rule: ss. 103.005(1), in conjunction with ss.66.293, 103.49 and 103.50
Statutes interpreted: ss: 66.293, 103.49 and 103.50
Introduction. 1995 Wis. Act 215 made a number of major changes to the laws which require the Department of Workforce Development to determine prevailing wage rates for state and local public works projects. In place of case-by-case investigations, the department is required to conduct an annual survey of employers and issue prevailing wage rate determinations for all trades or occupations in all areas of the state throughout the year based on the survey data. The statutes also provide that members of the public, employers, local governmental units and state agencies may ask the DWD to review prevailing wage rate determinations under a number of specified circumstances. This rule establishes deadline and appeal criteria for the process that will be used to compile the annual survey results and consider requests for review, and makes further code changes as explained below.
Annual survey. The rule establishes procedures for the annual survey of wage rate information that is now required by statute. The department will set a deadline date for the return of survey information and will not compile responses that are late. Determinations will be made for each “area,” which is defined by statute as a county, or (if there is insufficient data) a county with its surrounding contiguous counties, or (if there is still insufficient data) that territory included with the next tier of contiguous counties, or (if there is still insufficient data) the entire state. The department may include in its determinations future prevailing wage rates if a collectively bargained wage rate and fringe benefit package is found to prevail in a particular area for a particular trade or occupation and future rates are provided for by the agreement or its successor. if the wage rate data from all available sources is insufficient, the department may consider wage rate data for a similar trade or occupation in making its determinations.
Recalculation requests. Within 30 days after the department issues its initial determinations, any person may request a recalculation of any portion of a particular determination. In future years, a recalculation request will not be granted for the consideration of data that was not submitted on time. However, for the 1996 survey only, the department will accept recalculation requests on this basis.
