How Are Construction Workers Paid

Construction workers almost always are paid an hourly wage and can earn overtime, according to state and federal law. Expect weekly or bi-weekly pay in most cases. Daily or weekly paycheck disbursement is standard for temporary staffing agencies. In some cases, a construction worker may be paid in a lump sum before the start of the project. Pay becomes more stable and lucrative for construction workers with extensive experience and well-developed leadership skills.
