California has some of the most complicated prevailing wage requirements in the country. California has many more requirements than any other state, including higher wages, overtime paid on a daily basis and strict apprenticeship requirements. California prevailing wage is triggered whenever $1,000 of public funds is used on a public works project. In most instances, even if 100% federal funding is being used on a project, if the agency administering the project is a subdivision of the State of California (city, county, special district), then California prevailing wage will also apply.
