DWD 290.015 Collecting and compiling wage rate information. DWD 290.015(1)(1)
Annual survey. For the purpose of making prevailing wage rate determinations, the department shall conduct an annual survey of employers and compile the prevailing wage rate for each trade or occupation in each area. The survey shall consist of forms mailed by the department to employers or an electronic survey application for completion and return.
DWD 290.015 Note
Note: The form referred to in this subsection may be obtained from the Department of Workforce Development, Equal Rights Division, P. O. Box 8928, Madison, WI 53708.
DWD 290.015(2)
(2) Survey deadline. The department shall include a deadline date on the forms sent to employers. A survey form shall be accepted for initial compilation if it is received at the department's offices with a postmark or an electronic filing date that is on or before the deadline date and it is properly completed.
DWD 290.015(3)
(3) Collective bargaining agreements. If the sum of the hourly basic rate of pay and allowable hourly contributions rate in a collective bargaining agreement that has been filed with the department for the current survey period is equal to the sum of the hourly basic rate of pay and hourly contributions rate that is found to prevail in a particular area for that particular trade or occupation on that particular type of work and the majority of hours used to determine the prevailing wage rates were submitted under a collective bargaining agreement, the department shall include in its determinations any future contractual increase or decrease provided for in the collective bargaining agreement or a successor agreement, that is filed before January 1 of the calendar year following the end of the survey period. The department, upon request, shall also include in its determinations any future contractual increase or decrease in overtime and premium pay, with the exception of height pay, pay for work with particular products, shift differential, and supervisory pay.
DWD 290.015(4)
(4) Corrections. The department may correct errors in compiling data from the completed surveys, based upon its own determination or its inquiry to an employer.
DWD 290.015(5)
(5) Insufficient data. If the wage rate data which the department may consider from all sources is insufficient to determine the prevailing wage rate for a particular trade or occupation in a particular area or for a particular type of project, the department may consider wage rate data compiled for a similar trade or occupation.
DWD 290.015(6)(a)(a) The department shall issue its initial prevailing wage determinations based on the annual survey. Any person may request a recalculation of any portion of an initial determination, based upon the submission of the evidence required by s.
66.0903 (3) (bm),
66.0904 (4) (d), or
103.49 (3) (b), 2009 Stats., if the request and the accompanying evidence are received at the department's offices within 30 days after the initial determination date.
DWD 290.015(6)(b)
(b) The department will accept a recalculation request on the basis of evidence that the employer did not receive a survey, that the employer properly mailed a survey form which the department did not receive, or that the survey data previously submitted was erroneous. A recalculation request will not be granted for the consideration of data that could have been submitted as a part of the annual survey but was not submitted on time.
DWD 290.015 Note
Note: The department is required to affirm or modify the initial determination within 15 days after the date on which the department receives the request for recalculation. Sections
66.0903 (3) (bm),
66.0904 (4) (d), and
103.49 (3) (b), 2009 Stats.
DWD 290.015(7)
(7) Final determinations. The department shall issue its final annual prevailing wage determinations after it has issued decisions on all timely recalculation requests. No corrections under sub.
(4) or recalculations under sub.
(6) for the preceding year's survey may be completed after March 1.

The department shall include a determination of one or more subjourneyperson wage rates for a particular trade or occupation in a prevailing wage determination under the criteria set forth in this section.
DWD 290.025(2)
(2) The department shall determine whether there are at least 500 countable hours reported for a particular trade or occupation within a county, whether a collectively bargained wage rate and fringe benefit package prevails in the county for that trade or occupation, whether that wage rate is identical to an allowable rate in a collective bargaining agreement for that trade or occupation which has been filed with the department during the current survey period, and whether the collective bargaining agreement includes a wage rate for a classification equivalent to a subjourneyperson. If these conditions are present, the department shall determine subjourneyperson wage rates for the particular trade or occupation, based on the wage rates in the collective bargaining agreement applicable to that county. The department shall not consider data from contiguous counties when making a determination under this subsection.
DWD 290.025(3)
(3) As an alternative to sub.
(2), the department shall determine whether there are at least 500 countable hours reported for a particular trade or occupation within a county and whether the majority of the total hours reported for the trade or occupation were worked under collective bargaining agreements. If these conditions are present, the department shall determine subjourneyperson wage rates for the particular trade or occupation in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement that covers the greatest number of employees in the particular trade or occupation and is applicable to that county. The department shall not consider data from contiguous counties when making a determination under this subsection.
DWD 290.025(4)
(4) If neither the conditions in sub.
(2) nor the conditions in sub.
(3) are met, and there are at least 500 countable hours reported for a particular trade or occupation within a county, then the department shall determine subjourneyperson wage rates under this subsection.
DWD 290.025(4)(a)
(a) The entry-level subjourneyperson hourly basic rate of pay shall be equal to 35% of the journeyperson's hourly basic rate of pay for the trade or occupation plus 35% of the journeyperson's fringe benefit package.
DWD 290.025(4)(b)
(b) The regular subjourneyperson hourly basic rate of pay shall be equal to 65% of the journeyperson's hourly basic rate of pay for the trade or occupation plus 65% of the journeyperson's fringe benefit package.
DWD 290.025(4)(d)
(d) An employee shall not be employed at the entry-level subjourneyperson wage rate after one year of cumulative service in the trade or occupation. After one year of cumulative service, the employee shall be advanced to the regular subjourneyperson wage rate or be enrolled in an apprenticeship program or the employer shall not employ that employee on any project subject to a prevailing wage rate determination.
DWD 290.025(4)(f)
(f) Subject to the job site ratios in par.
(e), an employer may employ one person as an entry-level subjourneyperson for each current apprentice employed in the same trade or occupation.
DWD 290.025(4)(g)
(g) As an alternative to par.
(f) and subject to the job site ratios in par.
(e), an employer may employ one person as an entry-level subjourneyperson if the employer has no current apprentice in the same trade or occupation but did employ an apprentice in the same trade or occupation within the last 5 years who completed his or her apprenticeship during that time.
