furnishing a laborer or mechanic with fringe benefits as described in [paragraph
(7);] the definition of "wages"; provided that if the
department determines that the prevailing wage is determined by a group
represented by a collective bargaining agreement, then the overtime and any
other premium rates of pay shall be at the rates set by the collective
bargaining agreement.
[(7)] "Wages", "rate of
wages", "wage rates", "minimum wages", and

"(c) No laborer or mechanic employed on the job site of any public work of the State or any political subdivision thereof shall be permitted or required to work on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday of the State or in excess of eight hours on any other day unless the laborer or mechanic receives overtime compensation for all hours worked on Saturday, Sunday, and a legal holiday of the State or in excess of eight hours on any other day. The rate for overtime work shall be those rates specified in the collective bargaining agreement when the basic hourly rate is based on a collective bargaining agreement rate.

prescribe, conditioned upon the payment of wages, as defined in section [[104-1(7)],]
104-1, to the employees of the contractor or any other person or entity
entitled to such wages when due, and giving employees or any other person or
entity entitled to such wages who have not been paid a right of action on the
bond in their own names; and upon the honest conduct of the business of the
licensee, and upon the right of any person injured or damaged by any wrongful
