Associated Builders and Contractors of West Virginia (ABCWV) voiced its concerns over the newly presented methodology for the calculation of prevailing wage rates in West Virginia after Workforce West Virginia released a summary of its report on June 1. The report, a product of prevailing wage reform legislation (S.B. 361) signed March 12 by West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin (D), illustrates how new methodology will determine forthcoming prevailing wage rates on state-funded public improvements. However, because Workforce West Virginia failed to publish its new prevailing wage calculations by the July 1 deadline because lawmakers complained the methodology ran afoul of legislative intent, the state is currently without a prevailing wage for state-funded projects.

Just as a contractor should be cognizant of the perils of fire and other business interruptions, a contractor should consider the risk of employee theft in its risk management program. Rather than assuming that “it cannot happen to me,” a contractor should note the reality of the exposure of an employee stealing from the company and purchase fidelity insurance to cover the risk of employee theft. In addition, the business should establish sound internal controls to serve as a first line of defense to thwart and detect dishonest schemes by employees.
