This site is intended for informational purposes only and serves as a guideline for determining wage rates. It is the responsibility of the contractor, not ABC SoCal, to ensure that each apprentice is compensated according to the applicable laws and regulations.
To determine the appropriate wage rate and benefit package for the project, the contractor should review all pertinent documents and resources such as The Department of Industrial Relations Prevailing Wage, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, and the Federal Wages. Please note that pay periods and/or levels may differ by county and/or project. In addition, footnotes, holiday, scope, travel, pre-determined increases, can/will affect the wage rate. To further assist we recommend reading the “Notice of Understanding” webpage under our Labor Compliance tab and to register for State and Federal notifications on agencies websites to remain informed.
Important Note: The Department of Industrial Relations, Office of the Director, determines and publishes the apprentice wage rates that are displayed on this website. The calculations and dollar amounts displayed in the bordering sections of the Apprentice Wage Rates are not the responsibility of ABC SoCal. If mistakes are discovered, please contact The Department of Industrial Relations directly. (415-703-4774, Office of the Director, Research Unit.)
