DWS taking public comment on Labor Standards Prevailing Wage rules

It is important that we be able to provide timely payments to you for your benefits, and in doing so, are making some changes. Therefore, as of 05/31/2024, you will no longer be able to file your weekly continued claims for payment over the telephone using the automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. You will be able to file your continued claims online at wyui.wyo.gov by logging in and clicking on Continued Claim > File Continued Claim.

CHEYENNE–The Department of Workforce Services is promulgating Chapter 6 of Labor Standards rules regarding the Prevailing Wage and now seeks public comment on the proposed rules.

The Department of Workforce Services proposes to modify several sections throughout the Labor Standards’ Program rule, Chapter 6: Prevailing Wages. Various sections have been updated for grammar and an erroneous duplication, while Section 10 is updated to incorporate an effective date for the prevailing wage rate of May 1 for each year.

All of the proposed changes can be viewed in the strike and underlined version available here. More information on the changes is available in the statement of reasons.

Public Comment may be submitted online using this form and will close on March 14, 2024.
