DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ISSUES STAY ON MARCH 4
DECISIONS EXPANDING PREVAILING WAGE TO OFF-SITE FABRICATION
On April 16, the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
issued a formal notice that the implementation of the ambiguous
March 4 administrative decisions expanding prevailing wage
requirements to off-site fabrication and pre-fabrication is
suspended effective March 4 until administrative appeals of these
decisions are resolved. The DIR did not release details on the
appeals process. The decisions remain posted on the DIR website with
the stay notice on the first page, and the DIR has NOT indicated
that its decisions are wrong. This is a temporary and uncertain
victory for contractors. See the decisions on the DIR website at
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/Coverage/2000-027.pdf and
http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/Coverage/2002-064.pdf. |
