The Prevailing Wage Contractors Association (PWCA) is a not-for-profit organization that sponsors tax-advantaged programs, enabling our members to comply favorably with the various prevailing wage laws on the federal, state, and local levels.

Our purpose is to help both Union and Non-Union employers comply with the various prevailing wage laws in the most convenient manner. We sponsor Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) and Retirement (Pension) Plans that accomplish this goal.

Prevailing Wage Contractors Association members fund the benefit plans with the fringe rate from prevailing wage schedules on all prevailing wage jobs. Our members are able to keep fringe rate dollars by buying non-taxable benefits instead of incuring taxable payroll. All of our members enjoy a competitive advantage because of the tax savings.

Members find our office a resource center for related prevailing wage information on federal and state requirements, payroll administration, and wage and hour schedules. We provide experience that can take the mystery and hassle out of prevailing wage jobs.

The Prevailing Wage Contractors Association works on the concept that payroll involves expensive payroll taxes while unemployment benefits do not. Our union members have found it is easier to bargain for benefits to cover periods of unemployment rather than a base rate of pay increase.

The Prevailing Wage Contractors Association was founded in 1995 and is doing business nationwide. The trustee is Huntington National Bank.
