Tennessee State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: Yes — applies to qualifying state-funded projects
Threshold: State highway construction only
Enforcing agency: Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development

Tennessee's prevailing wage statute applies only to state highway construction projects; non-highway state-funded construction is not covered. Federal Davis-Bacon continues to apply on federally funded vertical construction in Tennessee.

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.
