OHA's Labor Compliance effort ensures that construction laborers are paid
prevailing wages as outlined in the
Davis-Bacon Wage Rate Act, and associated
HUD regulations. In order to assure compliance with the law, OHA undertakes a variety of actions including:
- Construction site visits
- Construction worker interviews
- Review certified payroll records for accuracy
- Resolve payment discrepancies
Reporting Suspected Wage Violations
If a violation of the Davis-Bacon Wage Rate Act is suspected, a request for an investigation may be made by contacting the OHA Compliance Officer. Upon
receipt of a written complaint alleging that a contractor or subcontractor has
failed to pay prevailing wages, the OHA Compliance Officer shall do all of the
following:
- Within
15 days after receipt of the complaint, send a written acknowledgment to the
complaining party that the complaint has been received and identifying the
name, address, and telephone number of the investigator assigned to the
complaint;
- Within
15 days after receipt of the complaint, notify the allegedly offending contractor
in writing of the complaint;
- Notify
the complaining party in writing of the resolution of the complaint within ten
days after the complaint has been resolved by OHA;
- Notify
the complaining party in writing at least once every 30 days of the status of a
complaint that has not been resolved by OHA; and
- Notify
the complaining party in writing at least once every 90 days of the status of a
complaint that has been resolved by OHA but remains under review or in
litigation before another entity.
