Prevailing Wage

The Prevailing Wage Act contains administrative and recordkeeping requirements that the City and its contractors are mandated to strictly follow. The Prevailing Wage Act should be consulted for the specific details pertaining to this requirement and for additional mandated requirements.

As of June 1, 2019, the prevailing wage schedule published by the Illinois Department of Labor automatically sets the applicable prevailing wage rates, and the City of Wheaton no longer approves an annual prevailing wage ordinance.

Effective September 1, 2020, all Certified Transcripts of Payrolls shall be submitted electronically to the Illinois Department of Labor at:
https://labor.illinois.gov/laws-rules/conmed/certifiedtranscriptofpayroll.html

The foregoing is informational. It is not provided or intended as legal advice. Every entity which may be subject to the terms and conditions of the Prevailing Wage Act should seek the advice and counsel of its own attorney.
