STATEMENT OF WORK U.S. Department of Labor (DOL Wage and Hour Division (WHD) Prevailing Wage Seminar BALTIMORE, MD August 24-27, 2015 PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) is responsible for enforcing some of our nation's most comprehensive federal labor laws, including the minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, youth employment and special employment, family and medical leave, migrant workers, lie detector tests, worker protections in certain temporary worker programs, and prevailing wages for government service and construction contracts. The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) Prevailing Wage Seminars (Prevailing Wage Seminars) are three-day compliance trainings designed for community stakeholders. The compliance trainings cover topics on Non-Displacement, the Davis-Bacon Act and McNamara O'Hara Service Contract Act, the process of obtaining wage determination and adding classification, the process for appealing wage rates, coverage, and compliance determinations. Prevailing Wage Seminars are emblematic of WHD's enhanced commitment to prevailing wage enforcement. These highly acclaimed seminars have significantly enhanced communications and collaboration with some of our most important stakeholders, such as the building trades labor organizations. Our increased enforcement has also significantly elevated interest and attendance by government contractors and contracting agency representatives at our Prevailing Wage Seminars. Previous seminars have averaged more than 300 attendees and are a valuable tool in promoting and enhancing WHD's government contracts prevailing wage and enforcement programs. In addition, Prevailing Wage Seminars are a mission critical component of WHD's overall enforcement strategy. WHD believes that providing contractors and contracting agency staff with compliance assistance training prior to contract award significantly reduces unintentional errors and permits WHD to target its limited enforcement resources on the egregious violators. 1.1 OBJECTIVES The WHD Government Contracts Branch requires a conference facility for the 3-day Prevailing Wage Seminar.
