Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Frequently Asked Questions

IV. Davis-Bacon Wage Surveys

In responding to a Davis-Bacon prevailing wage survey, what can we count

as fringe benefits?

Fringe benefits are:

Contributions irrevocably made to a trustee or third party pursuant to a bona fide

fringe benefit fund plan or program.

The rate of costs incurred in providing bona fide fringe benefits pursuant to an

enforceable commitment to carry out a financially responsible plan or program,

which was communicated to the employees in writing.

Examples:

Life insurance

Health insurance

Pension

Vacation

Holidays

Sick leave

Other "bona fide" fringe benefits

However, payments required by federal, state or local law are not fringe benefit contributions. Such payments required to fund

Social Security, unemployment compensation and workers’ compensation programs, as required by law, do not count as fringe

benefits.

Any question concerning what type of fringe benefits is "bona fide" should be referred to the Wage and Hour Division.
