Federal rules that apply in Nevada too
Davis-Bacon
Federal and federally assisted construction contracts over $2,000 carry a wage determination from SAM.gov. Every laborer and mechanic is paid at least the listed base rate plus fringe for the classification of work actually performed.
Weekly certified payroll
The contractor and every subcontractor submit a certified payroll each week work is performed, with a signed Statement of Compliance. The U.S. Department of Labor’s optional form is the WH-347 (Rev. January 2025).
Overtime
On covered contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires time and a half of the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Fringe benefits are not multiplied.
Records
Payroll records are kept for at least three years after the work is completed and made available to the contracting agency and the Department of Labor on request.
