As of April 2, 2025, Michigan contractors working on prevailing wage projects are subject to expanded compliance requirements. These new rules apply to all contractors and subcontractors engaged in state-funded construction projects, and failure to comply may result in ineligibility to bid or perform work.
What You Need to Know
- Annual Contractor Registration Required:
Any contractor or subcontractor employing construction mechanics must register online with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) before bidding or starting work on prevailing wage projects.
