📌 Print Required Job-Site Wage Poster

Many prevailing wage projects require specific notices to be posted at the job site so workers can clearly see their wage rights. This is a basic compliance requirement and one of the first things inspectors or agency representatives check during a site visit.

This page focuses only on job-site posting requirements – not wage selection, pricing, or documentation.


What Must Be Posted

At a minimum, job-site postings typically include:

  • A notice informing workers that the job is subject to prevailing wage requirements
  • Information on how workers can access the applicable wage rates
  • Any agency-required labor law notices tied to the project

Depending on the jurisdiction, the posting may reference or include the wage determination, but the requirement is about visibility to workers, not recordkeeping.

Where and When to Post

Post required notices in a common, accessible area at the job site, such as:

  • A job trailer
  • A break area
  • Another location where workers regularly gather

Postings should be in place before covered work begins and remain visible for the duration of the project.

Keep Postings Current

If posting requirements change, or if updated notices are issued during the project, replace outdated postings promptly.
Out-of-date or missing postings are a common inspection finding – even when wages are being paid correctly.

Inspection Checklist

Before work starts, confirm:

  • Required notices are printed and readable
  • Notices are posted in a visible location
  • Postings match the project’s prevailing wage requirements

Taking a few minutes to verify postings can prevent unnecessary issues later.

Key Takeaway

Job-site postings are about worker visibility, not paperwork.
Print the required notices, post them where workers can see them, and keep them current – it’s one of the simplest ways to stay compliant on a prevailing wage job.
