wage determinations

Wage determinations refer to the process of establishing the minimum pay rates for workers in specific jobs or industries, typically set by government agencies. These rates ensure fair compensation and comply with labor laws, especially for projects funded by federal or state money. Wage determinations consider factors like job classification, location, and prevailing wages in the area. They aim to protect workers from exploitation and promote fair wages, ensuring that employees receive adequate remuneration for their skills and responsibilities in the workplace.
