Michigan State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: Yes — applies to qualifying state-funded projects
Threshold: Public-school and state-financed construction
Enforcing agency: Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO)

Michigan re-enacted prevailing wage coverage for state-funded construction in 2023 after a brief repeal, with administration handled through LEO. Federal Davis-Bacon continues to apply on federally funded work. Local municipalities may impose additional prevailing-wage requirements on their own contracts.

Verify before relying on this: state prevailing-wage laws change. The summary above is a general reference compiled from publicly available state-law materials and is not legal advice. Confirm the current status with the cited state agency or a qualified attorney before bidding or paying workers under it.

Federal contracts ≥ $2,000 in Michigan must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Full compliance guide →
