Other Classifications of Work:

For definitions of classifications not otherwise set out, the
Department generally has on file such definitions which are available.
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.  If no
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
plantsman and  landscape laborer is covered by the existing
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
covered by the  classifications of truck driver.
