Question 23

You are the Senior HR Professional for your organization and you're leading a workshop on HR practices for your department. Your first topic is the Davis Bacon

Act. What did the Davis Bacon Act accomplish?

    Correct Answer: C

    The Davis-Bacon Act, enacted in 1931, was the first piece of legislation to address minimum wage requirements specifically for public works projects. It mandated that contractors and subcontractors pay their laborers and mechanics employed directly on the site of federal government projects no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits paid on similar projects. This act did not address retirement age, minimum working age, or abolish forced retirement requirements.
