Wisconsin State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: None currently in effect

Wisconsin repealed its state prevailing wage law for state-funded projects in 2017. Federal Davis-Bacon still applies to federally funded construction in Wisconsin, but state-only projects are no longer subject to a prevailing-wage requirement.

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