Where a prevailing rate of wages has been determined and prescribed, the
contract executed between a public authority and the successful bidder or
contractor shall contain a provision requiring the successful bidder and all of
his or her subcontractors to pay not less than the rate of wages so established.
The successful bidder or contractor and all subcontractors shall strictly comply
with these provisions of the contract.
All contractors and subcontractors required by KRS 337.505 to 337.550 and by
contracts with any public authority to pay not less than the prevailing rate of
wages, shall pay such wages in legal tender without any deductions. These
provisions shall not apply where the employer and employee enter into an
agreement in writing at the beginning of or during any term of employment
covering deductions for food, sleeping accommodations or any similar item if
this agreement is submitted by the employer to the department and is
approved by the department as fair and reasonable. All contractors and
subcontractors affected by the terms of KRS 337.505 to 337.550 shall keep full
and accurate payroll records covering all disbursements of wages to their
employees to whom they are required to pay not less than the prevailing rate of
wages. Such records shall indicate the hours worked each day by each
employee in each classification of work and the amount paid each employee
for his or her work in each classification. They shall be open to the inspection
and transcript of the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized
representative at any reasonable time, and shall be in compliance with all
regulations issued by the commissioner. These payroll records shall not be
destroyed or removed from this state for one (1) year following the completion
of the improvement in connection with which they are made.
Each contractor and subcontractor subject to the provisions of KRS 337.505 to
337.550 shall post and keep posted in a conspicuous place or places at the
site of the construction work a copy or copies of prevailing rates of wages and
working hours as prescribed in the contract with the public authority, showing
the rates of wages prescribed and the working hours for each class of laborers,
workmen, and mechanics employed by him or her in the work of constructing
the public works provided for in the contract with the public authority.
Every employer shall permit the commissioner or the commissioner's
authorized agents to question any of his or her employees at the site of the
