SB 854 Notice: County public works projects are subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) in accordance with Labor Code Section 1771.4(a)(1). As part of this program, Contractors and Subcontractors on Public Works Projects are required to be registered with DIR in accordance with Labor Code Section 1725.5.

In accordance with Labor Code, Section 1775, the Contractor shall forfeit an amount, as determined by the Labor Commissioner, for each worker paid less than the applicable prevailing wage rate for the work or craft in which that worker is employed for any work done under Contract by Contractor or by any Subcontractor.

If it becomes necessary to employ crafts other than those listed in the General Prevailing Wage Rate, the Contractor shall obtain a wage rate determination. The rates thus determined shall be applicable as minimum from the time of initial employment. The Contractor shall be responsible for paying the applicable rate.
