Big construction contracts for affordable housing must pay the local prevailing wage. This applies to housing with 12 or more assisted units. Unpaid volunteers not otherwise employed on the job are exempt from this rule.
(a) In general: Any contract to build affordable housing with 12 or more units assisted under this part must include a rule requiring that all laborers and mechanics on the project* get paid at least the locally prevailing wage, as set by the Secretary* of Labor under sections 3141-3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40. Jurisdictions must require certification of compliance with this rule before making any payment under the contract.
(b) Waiver: This wage rule does not apply to someone who volunteers and gets no pay — or only expenses, reasonable benefits, or a nominal fee — as long as that person is not otherwise employed anywhere in the construction work.
Any contract for the construction of affordable housing with 12 or more units assisted with funds made available under this part shall contain a provision requiring that not less than the wages prevailing in the locality, as predetermined by the Secretary* of Labor pursuant to sections 3141–3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40, shall be paid to all laborers and mechanics employed in the development of affordable housing involved, and participating jurisdictions shall require certification as to compliance with the provisions of this section prior to making any payment under such contract.
Subsection (a) shall not apply if the individual receives no compensation or is paid expenses, reasonable benefits, or a nominal fee to perform the services for which the individual volunteered and such persons are not otherwise employed at any time in the construction work.
