Volunteers Exempt from Prevailing Wages on California Public Works Projects

The State of California recently extended a prevailing wage exemption for volunteers working on public works projects until January 1, 2017.

Prior to the passages of Assembly Bill No. 587 and its signature by California Governor Jerry Brown on September 6, 2011, the prevailing wage exemption for volunteers was slated to expire on January 1, 2012.

The legislation defines what conditions must be met for an individual to be considered a volunteer.
