The Franklin County Court of Appeals in the case of Connell v. Wayne Builders, Case No. 95APE07-897, has ruled that a subcontractor's employees, as third party beneficiaries to the prime contract requiring the general contractor and all subcontractors to pay prevailing wages, may sue a general contractor to recover unpaid wages after the state has determined that a violation of the wage and hour laws has occurred.
