New Jersey employment law attorney Deborah Mains explains the New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act. This New Jersey employment law establishes the amount of wages due to employees performing work funded by public money or for employers who have contracts with public entities. According to the NJ employment lawyer, every county in New Jersey has a prevailing wage act determination that establishes the hourly and overtime rate for employees in specific classifications. Employees who are not earning the wages set forth by the county can file a lawsuit for the difference in these wages under the NJ Prevailing Wage Act.
