The Missouri prevailing wage law requires that all workers working on public works projects be paid the proper prevailing wage rate.  Prevailing wage rates are determined by actual hours worked, for a particular occupational title (classification/trade) in each individual county throughout the state.

Guidelines for Contractors

1.  Request a copy of Occupational Title Rule.
 
2.  Your bids should be based on the rate for the scope of work defined for each occupational title (classification).
 
3.  Incorporate prevailing wages into your bid.
 
4.  Pay employees proper wage/fringe rate for the type of work performed.
 
5.  Submit certified payroll records to the public entity involved in the project showing all employees work classifications (occupational title), hours worked and rate of pay.
 
6.  Submit an Affidavit of Compliance form to the public entity at project completion to receive final payment.
