What determines the proper classification of a worker?
The department determines prevailing wage rates for a wide variety of trades or occupations. All workers must be classified using only those trades or occupations recognized by the department and included in the applicable prevailing wage rate determination. The proper classification of a worker depends on the specific duties the worker performs and not a previously assigned occupational title. The department publishes a “Dictionary of Occupational Classifications and Work Descriptions” that describes, in detail, the primary purpose and typical duties performed by each classification that it recognizes. A copy of the dictionary is available at no charge from the department. It is also on DWD’s web site at the following address: http://www.wisconsin.gov/er/prevailing_wage_rate/dictionary_1.
