Davis Bacon Act Benefits

The Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) requires minimum prevailing wages and benefits paid to all hourly employees charging time directly to a federal construction contract. These amounts are subject to certified payroll and audit by the Department of Labor, Defense Contract Audit Agency, and other agency audit procedures. Failure to prove compliance may subject the contractor to fines or even debarment from all future government contracts for up to three years.

The Davis-Bacon Act requires annualization of benefits to fully capture cost against the fringe. This complicates the Davis Bacon fringe benefits dollar management, administration, and accounting for most contractors and therefore many contractors look for an easier and less cost effective route for compliance.

Whether you work under Service Contract Act or Davis-Bacon Act Regulations, or are even looking at your first contract, it pays to be compliant with your fringe benefit obligations.

Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act contracts require “fringe dollars” to provide employee benefits. These fringe dollars are defined by prevailing wage determinations and the benefits costs are charged directly to the contract.
