In this simplified California prevailing-wage exercise, the required cash wage plus creditable fringe benefits total $74 per hour. The employer pays $61 cash, which satisfies the applicable minimum cash wage, and $13 in qualifying, documented fringe contributions. All separate training obligations are satisfied. Does the stated cash-plus-fringe amount meet the $74 total?
Correct Answer
B) Yes; cash plus qualifying fringe equals $74.
$61 + $13 = $74 per hour. The answer relies on the express assumptions about the cash minimum, creditable benefits and separately satisfied training obligations. The arithmetic alone does not validate every prevailing-wage package. Source: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/PWManualCombined.pdf
