279C.805¹
Policy
The Legislative Assembly declares that the purposes of the prevailing rate of wage law are:
(1) To ensure that contractors compete on the ability to perform work competently and efficiently while maintaining community-established compensation standards.
(2) To recognize that local participation in publicly financed construction and family wage income and benefits are essential to the protection of community standards.
(3) To encourage training and education of workers to industry skills standards.
(4) To encourage employers to use funds allocated for employee fringe benefits for the actual purchase of those benefits. [2003 c.794 §166]
