Puerto Rico State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: None currently in effect

Puerto Rico does not have a separate commonwealth prevailing wage law. Federal Davis-Bacon applies to federally funded construction in Puerto Rico, including FEMA disaster recovery, HUD, and DOT projects. Puerto Rico also enforces specific labor standards on Commonwealth-funded work through the Puerto Rico Department of Labor.

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 Puerto Rico must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Full compliance guide →
