Re: prevailing wage work

From an employee standpoint it didn't work out for me. Yes, I was a W-2 and taxes were withheld, which was good. However, the project was in a state that has a state income tax while my home state does not. So, state income tax was withheld. I will get that back, eventually, when I file a state tax return. Also, the "prevailing wage" does NOT take into account that the employee is working away from home. I basically got paid what I would at home, yet I had additional expenses for meals and travel AND state income tax withholding. I did NOT like the project for these reasons. Lots of record-keeping for the contractor or employer and the employee never really gets ahead. Just my view/experience.
