Capabilities

Wage Determination Lookup

Help contractors find the correct DOL Wage Determination (WD) for their project:

Factor	Details
WD Types	General (heavy, highway, building, residential) vs Project-specific
Geographic scope	County-level rates — must match project location exactly
Modification tracking	WDs updated weekly; locked 10 days before bid opening
Rate components	Basic hourly rate + fringe benefits = total prevailing wage
SAM.gov lookup	All WDs published at sam.gov/wage-determinations

Covered Projects

Threshold	Requirement
Davis-Bacon Act	Direct federal contracts >$2,000 for construction/repair/alteration
Related Acts	~60 federal statutes (CDBG, FHWA, FAA, HUD, EPA SRF, WIFIA, IIJA, IRA)
IIJA (2021)	Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — $550B+ in new spending, all DB-covered
IRA (2022)	Inflation Reduction Act — clean energy projects require prevailing wage for full tax credits
State laws	28 states + DC have prevailing wage laws (varying thresholds $1K-$250K)

Certified Payroll Requirements

Weekly certified payroll (WH-347) must include:

Field	Requirement
Employee info	Name, address, last 4 SSN, work classification
Hours	Daily and weekly hours, straight time and overtime
Rate	Hourly rate + fringe breakdown (cash or bona fide plan)
Deductions	Itemized, only permissible deductions (29 CFR 3)
Certification	Signed Statement of Compliance (weekly)
Submission	Weekly to contracting agency — retained 3 years minimum
Electronic	LCPtracker, Elation Systems, B2Gnow accepted by most agencies

Classification & Wage Conformance

When a needed classification doesn't appear on the WD:

Check existing classifications — often a similar one covers the work
Request conformance — submit SF-1444 to contracting officer
CO forwards to DOL — Wage and Hour Division reviews within 30 days
Interim rate — pay proposed rate pending DOL determination
No self-classification — contractor cannot unilaterally assign rates

Common Violations & Penalties

Violation	Penalty Range
Underpayment	Back wages + interest (liquidated damages = 100% of underpayment)
Falsified certified payroll	Criminal: up to $10,000 fine + 10 years imprisonment (18 USC 1001)
Kickbacks	Criminal: up to $5,000 fine + 5 years imprisonment per occurrence
Debarment	3-year ban from ALL federal contracts (company + individuals)
Cross-debarment	Federal debarment recognized by most states
Willful violations	DOL refers to DOJ for criminal prosecution
Subcontractor liability	Prime contractor jointly liable for sub violations

Fringe Benefits Compliance

Method	Requirements
Bona fide plan	Irrevocable contributions to health, pension, vacation, apprenticeship funds
Cash equivalent	Pay fringe amount as cash wages (added to base rate)
Combination	Partial plan + partial cash — must total full fringe rate
Annualization	Cannot credit plan costs for non-covered work
Documentation	Maintain plan documents, contribution records, benefit statements

Apprenticeship Requirements

Requirement	Details
Registration	Must be registered with DOL/BAT or recognized SAA
Ratio	Cannot exceed approved apprentice-to-journeyworker ratio
Rate	Percentage of journeyworker rate per registered program schedule
Supervision	Must work under journeyworker on-site
Non-registered	Laborer or mechanic rate required — no apprentice discount
IIJA/IRA bonus	Some programs require apprenticeship utilization for full funding

State Prevailing Wage Quick Reference

State	Threshold	Key Differences from Federal
California	$1,000 (public works)	DIR registration required, electronic CPR, steep penalties
New York	$0 (all public work)	Fiscal officer determines rates, broader coverage
Illinois	$0 (all public work)	Separate rates by county, monthly reporting
Massachusetts	$0 (all public work)	Weekly payroll + monthly certified statements
New Jersey	$2,000	Registration Act compliance, stop-work authority
Ohio	$250,000	Covers new construction only (not repair/maintenance)
Pennsylvania	$25,000	Separate determination process from federal
Washington	$0 (all public work)	Intent/affidavit filing before work begins

Investigation & Audit Preparation

Pre-audit checklist:

All WH-347 certified payrolls filed weekly
Wage determination posted at job site (physical or electronic)
Employee interviews match payroll records
Fringe benefit contributions documented and current
Apprentice registrations on file
Subcontractor payrolls collected and reviewed
Time records match daily logs/sign-in sheets
No split classifications without documentation

安全使用建议

This package is an instructional compliance reference and appears internally consistent, but before installing: 1) note the publisher/source is not verified (no homepage) — prefer skills from known, trusted publishers for operational use; 2) do not feed real payroll or personally identifiable data into an untrusted skill or a public agent session; 3) verify rates, thresholds, and legal guidance against official sources (DOL, SAM.gov, state agencies) and/or counsel because laws and determinations change; 4) if you plan to automate submissions or connect to payroll systems, require a vetted integration that explicitly requests only the minimum credentials needed; and 5) test in a sandbox and confirm licensing/terms with the publisher before production use.

功能分析

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: afrexai-davis-bacon Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains standard metadata and documentation files (`_meta.json`, `SKILL.md`, `README.md`). The content of `SKILL.md` and `README.md` is purely informational, describing the purpose and capabilities of the Davis-Bacon compliance agent. There are no instructions for the AI agent that suggest prompt injection, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or any other harmful behavior. External links provided are for informational and promotional purposes to the developer's own sites and do not instruct the agent to perform any unauthorized actions.

能力评估

✓ Purpose & Capability

The skill name, README, and SKILL.md all describe Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage lookups, certified payroll guidance, classification conformance, audit prep, and apprenticeship rules. Nothing in the package requests unrelated resources (no env vars, no binaries) and the content aligns with the stated purpose.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains guidance, checklists, and references (e.g., SAM.gov, SF-1444, WH-347, LCPtracker) but does not instruct the agent to read local system files, harvest environment variables, or post data to unexpected external endpoints. The instructions are focused on compliance workflows and documentation.

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files (instruction-only), so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by an installer. The README mentions a 'clawhub install' command, but the skill metadata already exists in the registry and there is no installer script included in the package.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. That matches the content, which is a documentation/reference skill and does not need privileged credentials.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Flags show always:false and normal autonomous invocation settings; nothing in the package requests permanent elevated presence or changes to other skills or system-wide settings.
