$101.90 per hour total — $50.85 base rate plus $51.05 in fringe benefits — under the federal determination covering heavy construction in De-Kalb County, Illinois, dated Thursday, May 21, 2026.
No. It applies to heavy 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. $101.90 is the base rate of $50.85 plus $51.05 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.
