Hawaii State Prevailing Wage Law
Hawaii's "Little Davis-Bacon" (HRS Chapter 104) covers public-works construction of $2,000 or more performed for the State, counties, or related agencies. Rates are set by the DLIR Wage Standards Division and are typically benchmarked to local collective-bargaining agreements. Fringe benefits must be paid in cash unless provided through bona fide plans.
