DWD 290.025(1)(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)(e)(e) The department shall determine wage rates for subjourneypersons in accordance with the following required job site ratios: 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. DWD 290.025(4)(h)(h) The department shall not consider data from contiguous counties when making a determination under this subsection. DWD 290.025 HistoryHistory: Cr.

The type of work done for the most similar trade or occupation, and not a previously assigned occupational title, shall determine the required minimum prevailing wage rate payable.
