Prevailing Wage: Legal Liability and Compliance

$49 per employee of BX member firms

Complying with prevailing wage laws can be confusing for contractors who don’t perform a lot of public work. In Ohio, prevailing wages are updated weekly according to new collective bargaining contracts submitted to the Department of Labor, and contractors must pay construction workers at least the prevailing wages and benefits in the area which they are working.
Avoid the costly penalties for non-compliance by joining Nick Nykulak (Ross, Brittain & Schonberg Co., L.P.A.) as he explains the Ohio law and helps your team understand how the requirements impact your company.
A certified specialist in labor and employment law, Nykulak will also provide attendees with sample forms to assist with prevailing wage calculations and reporting on public work projects.
This program is being offered in-person and virtually. In-person seating is limited to ensure social distancing. Once filled, all registrants will be added to the live virtual program.
If you are interested in the online presentation only, or need more information about this program, contact Deb Murphy.
