Lots of individuals out there sometimes misused the terms, salaries and wages. Anyhow, those are still similar because those terms are in a form of monetary. Regardless of that, it still has difference and at times, people just never care about it as long as they got paid well. Salaries are fixed amount in every pay period while wages on the other hand, are amount that were based by the duty hours. In fact, those workers who were paid with wages can have overtime and get compensated.

Those are usual benefits, hourly rates and overtime. It was the US Department of Labor that established this. In addition, it may also differ depends on the occupation of a person.

Some states or region might be higher compared to others. Furthermore, the rates were also being enlarged through surveys as well as combined bargaining agreements.

In construction settings, this duty will be performed construction managers. This is certainly needed to assure that laborers were paid well. In addition, it will let them know that their company was following the regulations. In addition, the construction manager would log the data about their employees. And that includes their first names and also surnames, their working hours, and their assigned tasks that they performed.

When contractors submit the payment claim, it would be carefully reviewed by the construction manager. That way, he would know that workers have received at least minimum of compensation. In addition, local and state governments may as well consent prevailing wages on their contracts. Employers should get those requirements before they could bid those contracts.

Furthermore, employees must really understand about this or maybe just have some brief background. This is important for their sake as well so if in case their pay was wrong, they can take legal actions on the company. It will be also a reminder for public works that complying with regulations is a must.
