If there is a difference between the Federal Minimum Wages and the General Prevailing Wage Determinations, as predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors must pay the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper", other classifications based on hours of experience, or any other classifications not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination, the Contractor and subcontractor cannot pay less than the Federal minimum wage rate which most closely approximates the duties of employees in question.
