Other Classifications of Work:
For definitions of classifications not otherwise set out, the
Department generally has on file such definitions which are available.
If there is no such definition on file, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics SIC list will be used. If a task to be performed is not
subject to one of the classifications of pay set out, the Department
will upon being contacted state which neighboring county has such a
classification and provide such rate, such rate being deemed to exist
by reference in this document. Further, if no such neighboring
county rate applies to the task, the Department shall undertake a
special determination, such special determination being then deemed
to have existed under this determination. If a project requires
these, or any classification not listed, please contact IDOL at
618/993-7271 for wage rates or clarifications.
LANDSCAPING
Landscaping work falls under the existing classifications for laborer,
operating engineer and truck driver. The work performed by landscape

classification of laborer. The work performed by landscape operators
(regardless of equipment used or its size) is covered by the
classifications of operating engineer. The work performed by
landscape truck drivers (regardless of size of truck driven) is

Landscape industry wage classifications are not recognized in the IDOL rates. And, the
(sa7) 7os-IGBG IDOL rates are not those that prevail in the landscape industry. What this means is that -
Directors providing you are accepting only bids based on the IDOL prevailing wage rate -you, your

taxpayers and your contractors spend thousands of unnecessary dollars an landscape projects.
(sa7) 8za-a9z9 The IDOL prevailing wage rate reflects a misclassification of landscape work as "laborer" at

of building, residential, heavy and highway projects. These classifications further prove that
