The Wage Commission ensures compliance with Baltimore City's wage laws on local construction and service projects. As the authoritative body, our mission extends beyond enforcement; we focus on educating and developing proactive initiatives to prevent underpayment of workers.

MISSION

• Processing and examining wage violation complaints.
• Remedying situations where workers earn less than the mandated wages.
• Enforcing wage regulations, as outlined in Article 5§25 (Prevailing Wage), 5§26 (Living Wage), and Article 11§18 (Displaced Workers).
• Annually, the Commission updates and issues new Prevailing and Living Wage rates to be applied to construction and service contracts within Baltimore City, ensuring fair compensation aligns with current economic standards.

The Wage Commission convenes monthly on the first Thursday from 3-5 PM.
