DBRA is a set of laws enacted to provide labor standards on certain federally-funded projects.  DBRA specifies the minimum wage a worker in a certain trade should receive, requires that workers be paid weekly, requires that they receive 1.5 times their hourly wage for any hours worked over 40 hours in a single week, and makes unauthorized payroll deductions or kickbacks to employers illegal.  Locally, a Labor Standards Officer (LSO) will be appointed to a particular project, and the LSO is responsible for reviewing weekly certified payrolls submitted by contractors and subcontractors.  The LSO ensures the requirements of DBRA described above are met.
