The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Section 7 of the act of August 15, 1961 (P.L.987,
No.442), known as the Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Act, amended
August 9, 1963 (P.L.653, No.342), is amended to read:
Section 7. Duty of Secretary.--The secretary shall, after
consultation with the advisory board, determine the general
prevailing minimum wage rate in the locality in which the public
work is to be performed for each craft or classification of all
workmen needed to perform public work contracts during the
anticipated term thereof: Provided, however, That employer and
employe contributions for employe benefits pursuant to a bona
fide collective bargaining agreement shall be considered an
integral part of the wage rate for the purpose of determining
the minimum wage rate under this act[.]: and Provided, further,
That the secretary shall not require the payment of an
applicable overtime premium on that portion of the required
hourly wage rate which reflects cash payment for employe
benefits pursuant to a bona fide collective bargaining
agreement. Nothing in this act, however, shall prohibit the
payment of more than the general prevailing minimum wage rate to
any workman employed on public work. The secretary shall
forthwith give notice by mail of all determinations of general
prevailing minimum wage rates made pursuant to this section to
any representative of any craft, any employer or any
representative of any group of employers, who shall in writing
request the secretary so to do.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
