The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has scheduled two upcoming conferences to educate federal contractors on the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. Each conference will address such topics as the process of obtaining wage determinations and adding classifications, compliance assistance and enforcement processes, and the process of appealing wage rates.  The conferences will be held June 20-21 in Long Island, N..Y, and June 26-27 in Atlantic City, N.J. During 51����’s Federal Contracting Conference, a WHD representative stated that the conferences would primarily be held in the northeast region of the country due to the increase in federally funded construction projects after Hurricane Sandy.  Hurricane Sandy was the most destructive storm of the 2012 hurricane season. Interested participants should email their name, title, company name, email address and phone number to whdpwc@dol.gov.  A confirmation email will be sent to registrants who have been accepted to participate.  There is no cost to attend.  Because this is not an 51����-affiliated event, interested parties should contact WHD at 1-866-487-9243 for more information. Those who are not able to attend may find additional guidance on the 51���� website.  For resources such as 51����’s Davis-Bacon Compliance Manual Fourth Edition and 51���� Davis-Bacon Act webinars, visit the .  For guidance and compliance assistance tools, visit .  The primary category is “compensation” and the secondary category is “Davis-Bacon Act.”
