The document is a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to Executive Order 2021-06, dated October 21, 2021. The form requires contractors and grantees to certify compliance with 13 specific Pennsylvania state labor and workforce safety laws, including acts related to workplace classification, child labor, minimum wage, equal pay, employment medical examination, seasonal farm labor, wage collection, and apprenticeship training.

The certification mandates that contractors affirm their adherence to these labor laws and understand potential penalties for false certifications, which can include contract termination and a three-year ineligibility to bid on contracts under 62 Pa. C.S. § 531. The form requires an authorized official to sign and confirm compliance, with an obligation to immediately report any changes in the contractor's compliance status to the purchasing agency. The document is part of Pennsylvania's effort to ensure worker protections and maintain safe, healthy work environments across the state.
