I spoke to my company about it and they said they didn’t need to pay me it because I get per diem. (Per diem was like $25/day, prevailing wages were about $75/hour) I wasn’t looking to fight and knew nothing about it so I just let it go.

Am I eligible for those wages? I believe the answer is yes. For reference, I am salaried and I was based out of Texas at the time, so I’m not sure how this all affects prevailing wages. Also is it too late to do anything years later? Any help is much appreciated!!
