MONTANA WAGE PREVAILING REQUIREMENTS The Commissioner ofthe Montana Department ofLabor and Industry, in accordance with Sections 18-2-401 and 18-2-402 Montana Code Annotated, has determined the standard prevailing rate ofwages for the occupations listed in this publication. The wages herein specified are controlling as to the prevailing rate ofwages for the purposes of 18-2-401, et seq., Montana Code Annotated. It is incumbent upon each employer to pay, as a minimum, the rate ofwages including fringe benefits for health and welfare, pension contributions, vacation, training, travel allowance and per diem, applicable to the locality in which the work is being performed, provided in the attached wage determinations. * Apprentices -*un\*f 2ttf**'* WWaaggee rr&atte$*SffppirYv33pp^p#e*feilrrticceess rreeggjijsrtteerr?fdd/mm aapppprroovveedd fed state apprenticeship r^gferrâre contained in those programs. Howev5?apprentices not registered in approved fed eral or state apprenticeship programs will be paid the prevailing wage rate. Fringe Benefits Section 18-2-405 ofthe wage and hour laws states that..."when- ever the employer is not signatory to a collective bargaining agreement, those monies designated as fringe benefits shall be paid to the employee as wages." This section does not apply to that portion ofthe prevailing wage designated by the Montana Department of Labor and Industry as health, welfare, or pension benefits which the employerwould otherwise contribute to federally approved Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) plans. For building construction occupations, the vacation benefit amount is included in the prevailing wage rate. The vacation amount is listed under benefits for informational purposes only. Vacation can be deducted from the wage rate, after taxes, provided the employer is signatory to a collectively bargained agreement which contains a vacation fund and the benefit is then paid into the fund. If an employer is not signatory to a collectively bargained agreement, the employer must pay the full prevailing wage amount with no deduction for vacation. Vacation benefits are not to be considered a part ofthe hourly rate ofpay for overtime purposes unless there is a collectively bargained agreement in effect that specifies that fringe benefits are to be computed on a hours paid basis. The other fringe benefits (health and welfare, pension, apprenticeship training, travel and per diem) are to be paid in addition to the prevailing wage rates. Wages Posting Notice of Prevailing Section 18-2-406, Montana Code Annotated, provides that contractors, subcontrac|£iTS^rf?femployers who are performing work or ntpvidifS|Mrvifie| ^rjd^r public works contracts as pro- **• & îd^ffiia thispariIhill post ina..worninent and accessible site project qrr\A^rl|^w^rtoi rater than the first day ofwork, a^^^'fcstatement ofall wages to be paid to the employees on sucn site or work area.
