Prevailing Wage

The General Assembly of the State of Illinois has enacted the Prevailing Wage Act, 820 ILCS 130/1 et seq. ("Act"). The Act governs the wages of all laborers, workers, and mechanics who perform work on public projects by any public body, which includes municipalities. Effective June 1, 2019, municipalities are no longer required to accept the prevailing wages determined by the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) nor investigate and ascertain the prevailing rate of wages as defined in the Act for workers employed to perform wok on public works construction projects in the locality in which the work is performed. This will now be the sole responsibility of IDOL every June, and IDOL will publish the rate on its official website no later than July 15 of each year.
