Maine State Prevailing Wage Law
Maine's Fair Minimum Wage law for state public works (26 M.R.S. § 1304-1313) covers state-funded construction over $50,000. Rates are based on a Bureau of Labor Standards survey by trade and region. Apprentices may be paid below the journey rate only when registered with a Maine-approved apprenticeship program.
