Is any local governmental unit exempt from applying for a prevailing wage rate determination?

0

Yes. Any local governmental unit that has adopted an ordinance or other enactment which sets forth standards as high or higher than those prescribed in s. 66.0903, Wisconsin Statutes, may be exempted from applying to the department for a prevailing wage rate determination. The local governmental unit is not exempt from the law but is merely exempt from applying to the department for prevailing wage rate determinations on a project-by-project basis. The department routinely exempts about a dozen local governmental units. Every local governmental unit that desires to be “exempt” must have a methodology in place to enforce the payment of the prevailing wage rates before an exemption will be granted.
