The Davis-Bacon Act, which has its roots back to the 1930’s, established prevailing wage rates for federal government (Public Works) projects in local jurisdictions. DBA has survived over the years by attempts to replace or repeal it. Though there have been changes over the years, the general principle of DBA lives on. This virtual course will discuss the administration and application of DBA in Federal Government Contracting including disputes, wages, compliance, payment scheduling, etc.
This virtual course is a step-by-step analysis of the information contractors and their personnel — contract managers, personnel professionals, financial professionals, legal counsel, project managers and others — need to know regarding the Davis-Bacon Act.
Who should attend:
A special one-day program for those involved with Government contract labor and wage requirements— personnel professionals, contract managers, compliance officials, legal counsel and financial personnel.
What you will learn:
In-depth analysis of the Act’s requirements regarding wage rates and their impact on your daily activities
Dispute and problem resolution
Analyses of pending and proposed legislative initiatives
Effective compliance procedures
Many problems can arise in the Act’s interpretation, administration, and enforcement, including:
The classification of workers
How an area’s “prevailing” rates are determined
What constitutes the work site
Bona fide employee fringe benefits plans
Service and supply contracts vs. construction contracts
Debarment
Payment schedule and record-keeping requirements
NEW FOR 2024
For DBA: New rules, the first in over 3 decades from the Department of Labor will be impacting contracts going forward
For Service Contract Act - The Department of Labor is changing rules that will impact service contracts
Regarding government construction courses - with the changes in the Davis-Bacon Act, you will learn how it impacts your current and future contracts.
..and much more

About Our Experts
Daniel B. Abrahams
Founding Partner of Abrahams Wolf-Rodda, LLC
Mr. Abrahams is a founding partner of Abrahams Wolf-Rodda, LLC
, a boutique government contracts and wage & hour law firm in the Washington DC metropolitan area. See www.awrcounsel.com. The practice includes traditional government contracts work (bid protests, claims, compliance advice, prime-sub disputes, etc.) and a wage & hour practice (spanning the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Service Contract Act, the Davis-Bacon Act, various Executive Orders, and state wage laws). In the latter, Mr. Abrahams represents mostly employers in class and collective actions, individual lawsuits, federal and state wage investigations, and self-audit compliance. At his new boutique law firm, Mr. Abrahams is now available to represent workers in their personal wage claims, including collective and class actions. Mr. Abrahams also has been retained to be an exemption classification consultant and expert witness in wage and hour disputes.
Mr. Abrahams was formerly a partner at Brown Rudnick LLP for almost 10 years and was at Epstein Becker & Green, PC for almost 25 years. He is the former Chairman of the American Bar Association, Public Contract Law Section, Employment Safety & Labor Committee. He is also a former adjunct professor at George Washington University Law School where he taught a course called “Federal Labor Standards.”
Starting in 1985, Mr. Abrahams co-authored more than nine books in the fields of government contracts and wage and hour law. His wage & hour publications include the: Fair Labor Standards Handbook for State, Local Governments and Schools; Employer's Guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act; FLSA Employer Exemption Handbook; and Public Employer's Guide to Payroll Administration. In 2011, Mr. Abrahams also co-authored three booklets: Smart Guide to FLSA Exemptions; Do I have to pay My Employees for This? FLSA Working Time Essentials; and FLSA Overtime Basics. In the government contracts field, Mr. Abrahams co-authored the: Government Contracts Compliance Guide; Public Official’s Guide to e-Government; and Government Contractor’s Guide to Employment Law Compliance. Overlapping the government contracts and wage & hour field, Mr. Abrahams co-authored two Federal Publications (now West) Briefing Papers: The Service Contract Act; and The Davis-Bacon Act.
Mr. Abrahams teaches regularly for Federal Publications Seminars on the Service Contract Act and the Davis-Bacon Act. He has been a continuous speaker at ThomsonReuter’s Year in Review Conference and its predecessors since the late 1980s.
Mr. Abrahams has a Master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis and later attended the George Washington University Law School where he was the Notes Editor of the George Washington Law Review and graduated Order of the Coif.
