4) Are any types of projects specifically exempted?

Because the prevailing wage is the same as the minimum wage, I am going to assume that the minimum wage thresholds are the same as the prevailing wage thresholds. For example, in Nebraska, an employer who hires fewer than four employees is exempt from the minimum wage laws. (United States Department of Labor)
