As construction season gets underway, Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is issuing a reminder about the state’s prevailing wage laws, requiring fair pay to workers on publicly financed projects. The prevailing wage is set by county, marking the least amount of money and benefits a contractor is required to pay workers. In 2019, Mendoza signed an executive order to allow the Illinois Office of Comptroller to stop state payments to any contractor found to be in violation of prevailing wage laws.
