The law defines “subcontractor” as any entity subcontracting with a contractor to perform construction, demolition, reconstruction, excavation, rehabilitation, repair, installation, renovation, alteration, or custom fabrication, which is subject to Article 8 of the Labor Law. Contractors are responsible for verifying that any subcontractors they work with are registered. Contractors need to register before submitting any new bids or commencing new work on a covered project. Subcontractors need to register before commencing new work on a covered project. Any bid received that fails to provide the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) registration number on the form of bid as required shall be rejected as non-responsive.
