    I know that you do not have to pay time and a half on the fringe portion for Davis Bacon wages, but do you have to add the fringe amount  at all?

    Example: Base Rate = $10.00 - Fringe Rate = $2.00 for a Total Rate of $12.00 and 44 hours worked

    A) 40 X $12.00 ($10 + $2)                 = $480.00

          4 X $17.00 = (($10 X 1.5) + $2)   = $ 68.00

                                            Total Pay   = $548.00

                            -OR-

    B) 40 X $12.00 ($10 + $2)                 = $480.00

          4 X $15.00 = ($10 X 1.5)             = $ 60.00

                                            Total Pay   = $540.00

    I have actually found examples for both ways on the DOL website.
