| County median | $29.19 | across all classifications in the county |
| County range | $13.41 – $107.72 | lowest to highest total prevailing wage |
| Fringe share | 29% | $5.36 of the $18.67 total |
Of that total, $13.31 is base cash wage and $5.36 is fringe. Fringe may be satisfied with bona fide benefit plan contributions, paid in cash, or a mix — but it is owed either way, and it is owed at straight time on overtime hours.
$18.67 per hour total — $13.31 base rate plus $5.36 in fringe benefits — under the federal determination covering building construction in Amador County, California, dated Monday, May 18, 2026.
No. It applies to building construction under federal funding. The same county carries different rates for Building, Residential, Highway and Heavy work, and a state or city determination may apply instead of or alongside the federal one. Match all three — classification, construction type and funding source — before using a rate.
Yes. $18.67 is the base rate of $13.31 plus $5.36 of fringe. The fringe can be paid into bona fide benefit plans, paid as cash wages, or split between the two.
It is taken from the federal wage determination published on the official government source, linked above. WageFinder re-reads those sources weekly and does not alter the rates. For compliance, the government determination is the authoritative document.
