Dear Ms. Purrington:
This is a formal request from the Center for Contract Compliance for copies of the above noted general contractor’s certified
payroll records from the beginning of the project through present on form A-1-131 and fringe benefit statement. Please
note the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement’s (DIR) Electronic Certified Payroll Reporting (E-CPR) system has not
replaced an awarding body’s duty to provide payroll records pursuant to Labor Code §1776(b)(3).
After reviewing the DIR’s E-CPR system, these records were not available or have been redacted beyond the statutory
threshold provided to Joint-Labor Management Committees pursuant to Labor Code §1776(e). As a Joint Labor-
Management Committee, any records provided to the Center for Contract Compliance shall include the workers’ name
and address.
Our office will gladly comply with California Code of Regulations §16402, which states the “cost of preparation to each
contractor, subcontractor, or public entity . . . shall be $1 for the first page of the payroll record and 25 cents for each page
thereafter, plus $10 to the contractor or subcontractor for handling costs.”
Pursuant to Labor Code §1776(h), the contractor has 10 days to comply with this request or is subject to a $100 per calendar
day penalty, for each worker, until the records are properly submitted. These penalties are payable to the awarding body or the
state. We urge collecting these penalties to replenish agency funds and ensure fair and responsible contracting. In addition, the
contractor is subject to debarment from public works contracting provided by Labor Code §1771.1(c). If needed, the contractor
can download the payroll reporting form and fringe benefit statement from the DLSE’s website at: www.dir.ca.gov/Public-
Works/Resources.htm.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at (805) 676-9267 ext. 400 or by e-mail at MiguelC@socalccc.org.
Sincerely,
Miguel Coronel
Investigator
