The Labor Department has created a website that allows contracting officers to obtain wage determinations. The public site, Wage Determinations OnLine at www.wdol.gov, is also open to contractors wishing to check wage requirements.

It includes guidance for agencies on how to select the appropriate wage determination for each contract action and provides access to the most current wage determinations under the Service Contract Act (SCA) and the Davis Bacon Act. A feature on the site alerts users to future revisions to particular wage determinations.

The website replaces the paper form SF-98 with an electronic “e98.” The department has issued a final rule allowing agencies to use the electronic form.

“WDOL reflects the technological advances since 1990 and the wide use of electronic communication and information sharing,” said Alfred B. Robinson Jr., deputy administrator of the Wage and Hour Division.
