Contractors and subcontractors that perform construction projects for Illinois state and municipalities have special responsibilities to comply with the provisions of the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act. As an attorney, it is important that you know which projects are subject to the Act, what the prevailing wages are, whether or not the prevailing wages for a state project are the same as for projects in each county, municipality, library, and fire districts throughout the state, the documentation employers should create and maintain to show their compliance with the Act, and much more.
