Prevailing Wage Workshop

It's tough everywhere. Upcoming jobs are Prevailing Wage because the government is the only one spending money. If you are a contractor who has performed Prevailing Wage work before, you now see bidders from farther away competing for the contract, or you see companies who never before sought Prevailing Wage work now attempting to win the bid. If you have avoided Prevailing Wage projects in the past, you may find that it's now the only work available. No matter the circumstance, contractors have to work harder and smarter to get their share of the pie.

One very simple monetary advantage you may have over your competitors is how you address the Prevailing Wage rate fringe requirement. Do you really understand Prevailing Wage fringes? Ask yourself these questions:

Are you paying Prevailing Wage fringes as cash simply because you don't know what else to do?
Are you applying every cent of every fringe benefit you provide (including holiday and vacation pay) towards the Prevailing Wage rate you must pay your employees?
Do you know how to receive the most possible credit for the health and life insurance premiums that you pay?
Has your 401(k) been set up for maximum benefit on Prevailing Wage projects or is it only partially working for you?
Are you receiving the appropriate credit for any Company sponsored Apprenticeship training?
Do you have a written Company Fringe Benefit Program and are you absolutely sure it is in strict compliance with all of the Prevailing Wage statutes, codes and regulations?
Do you really understand your Prevailing Wage fringe obligations?
When the Prevailing Wage auditor walks in your door, can you easily produce a clear audit trail of all fringes paid that will satisfy the auditor's requirements? Are you a "Here's what we do." or a "What will you let me have?" contractor?
Do your employees fully understand all that you are paying on their behalf?
Bottom line, are you needlessly paying out too much money?

We cover a lot of ground and we provide quite a bit of educational and reference material for you to keep. These sessions normally last a couple of hours. In order to address everyone's concerns, attendance is limited to a relatively small number. Of course, there is no cost or obligation on your part, just let us know if you want to attend. You can give us a call, drop us a fax or send an email to info@advantageresource.com.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
