A.   CCMI schedules one date each month to job walk projects and randomly interviewing employees.  The project  manager will be notified a few days ahead of time.  This is to ensure that we do not interrupt any part of the project, such as a concrete pour.  A few employees will be selected randomly and interviewed for a couple minutes.  This information is then checked with the certified payrolls submitted by the contractors.

A.   In very limited circumstances this may be true.  This only applies to “Charter Cities” who are using only local funds (no State or Federal Funds) and have passed a law to exclude a project from prevailing wages.  The only other exception is when a public entity which has a Labor Compliance Program set up to monitor all public works projects – can exempt small ticket jobs only.  This can be a complicated area so make sure you have all of the facts confirmed in writing and you may want to contact your legal council.

A.  Yes.  In 1997, the Department of Industrial Relations and the California Courts confirmed that any individual who performed work on the project must be paid prevailing wages, submit certified payroll and comply with Labor Code 1720 et seq.

A.   All employers (with the exception of a sole proprietor who has no employees) are required to complete and submit DAS-140 and DAS-142 Forms.
