Errors in Prevailing Wage Rates Corrected

The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries announced that the new prevailing wage rates effective on, and published just prior to, September 2, 2009 contained errors.

Affected Classifications and Counties: Between August 27, 2009 and September 2, 2009, L&I's website included incorrect information for Soft Floor Layers and/or Residential Soft Floor Layers for any county. Also the wages for Clallam, Jefferson, Island, King, Kitsap, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom counties may have included incorrect information.

Emergency Corrections Made: On the afternoon of September 2, 2009, the prevailing wages were corrected on L&I's website. The effective date of the corrected wage rates is still September 2, 2009 through the emergency provisions of WAC 296-127-011(1).

View Correct Wages: Anyone who accessed wage rates between August 27, 2009 and September 2, 2009 should return to L&I's website to view and print the corrected prevailing wage rates.
