Overview
The Associated Builders and Contractors of New Jersey, in conjunction with Flaster Greenberg PC and Beneco, will discuss prevailing wage work, benefits and your contract payment provisions that will help contractors with issues that affect their bottom line. This lively and interactive discussion will cover the following topics:
New Jersey's Prevailing Wage Act
Confused and concerned about bidding on state and federal Public Work Projects? Take the worry out and learn what work is covered, determine prevailing rates, and stay updated on compliance issues, record keeping and penalties for non-compliance.
Save Money When Bidding on Prevailing Wage Jobs
The benefits portion of prevailing wage act work can be troublesome and costly. How do you determine the benefit obligations? How can you control benefit costs and minimize tax obligations?
What Your Contract Really Says About Payment
Your right to receive progress and final payments and your obligation to make those payments are typically governed by contract provisions. A vast number of contracts now include either "pay-when-paid" or "pay-if-paid" clauses. Does the prime contractor have an obligation to make payments if it has not received payment from the owner? Who has the risk of non-payment? What is the impact of the New Jersey Prompt Payment Act?
