SB 438

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law generally requires the payment of the prevailing rate of per diem wages and the prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work to employees employed on a public work, as defined, that costs more than $1,000, and provides that workers employed by contractors or subcontractors in the execution of any contract for public work are deemed to be employed upon public work. This bill would provide that workers working in a yard, shop, or plant off the site of construction shall only be deemed to be employed upon public works if that yard, shop, or plant is specifically established for that public work project.
