Introduction:
Labor Code section 1771.5 authorizes the establishment of Labor Compliance Programs (“LCPs”) to enforce prevailing wage requirements on public works construction projects. LCPs enforce prevailing wage laws on behalf of the public agencies that award public works contracts (known as “awarding bodies”) and serve as an alternative to the traditional enforcement role of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
LCPs are required, among other things, to inform contractors about their prevailing wage obligations, to monitor compliance by obtaining and reviewing certified payroll reports, to investigate complaints and other suspected violations, and to take appropriate enforcement action when violations are found. LCPs must be approved, may have their approval revoked, and must follow specific reporting and performance standards in accordance with regulations adopted by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations at Title 8, California Code of Regulations, sections 16421 – 16439.
