Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code, the requirement that employer payments not reduce the obligation to pay the hourly straight time or overtime wages found to be prevailing does not apply to those portions of development that are not a public work if otherwise provided in a bona fide collective bargaining agreement covering the worker. (

e) The requirement of this

section to pay at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages does not preclude use of an alternative workweek

schedule adopted pursuant to

Section or of the Labor Code. (
