Wage subsidies, bid supplements, and rebates for employment prohibited, when
When someone works on a government construction project, the company hiring them cannot use special payments or rebates to secretly lower the worker's pay below the required minimum wage for that job. If such a payment is allowed and received, the company must tell the government body about it within 30 days, and that report becomes a public record. If a company breaks this rule, it owes the government twice the amount by which it underpaid workers for every hour worked.
