Do I Need a Lawyer for My New Jersey Prevailing Wage Claim?

If you work in certain industries in New Jersey, your pay may be regulated by the New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act (PWA). This law establishes a “prevailing wage level,” or set wage rate, for workers engaged in construction, maintenance, and other services for many New Jersey public works projects. If the PWA applies to your position and your employer isn’t complying with its requirements, you may have a legal claim.
