Your contract documents are the source of truth: if a system like LCPtracker, Elation, or PRISM is named, uploads there are the awarding body's monitoring copy. Either way the direct DIR eCPR filing under your own registration is a separate, standing obligation on non-exempt projects ([DIR eCPR FAQ](https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/ecprfaq.html)). ## Your filing duties on these projects - **Direct DIR eCPR filing.** On a registered public works project you submit electronic certified payroll records directly to DIR at least monthly, or more often when the contract says so ([Labor Code 1771.4](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=LAB§ionNum=1771.4)). DIR is explicit that submitting certified payroll records to other agencies "does not put you in compliance with the state unless you submit eCPRs directly to DIR" ([DIR eCPR FAQ](https://www.dir.ca.gov/Public-Works/ecprfaq.html)). - **Federal weekly payroll.** Contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts require payroll information every week, each submission with a signed Statement of Compliance ([U.S. Department of Labor](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/forms/wh347)). - **Records on demand.** You keep certified records and produce them within 10 days of receiving a written request. Miss it and you forfeit $100 for each calendar day, or part of a day, for each worker, and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement can request that the penalty be withheld from progress payments then due ([Labor Code 1776](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=LAB§ionNum=1776)). From January 1, 2027, [SB 909](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB909) (Chapter 660, Statutes of 2026) raises that penalty to $140 per worker per calendar day; [what SB 909 changes](https://wellstanding.com/guides/sb-909-prevailing-wage-penalty-increases-2027/). ## Working for a water or sanitation district Read the contract documents for the system or office that takes certified payroll on this district's projects, confirm the project is registered with DIR, and confirm whether DIR exempts it from the direct eCPR filing. ## Trades recently listed on city of carlsbad or carlsbad municipal water district work Contractor license classes listed on city of carlsbad or carlsbad municipal water district projects in WellStanding's collection of DIR project registration data, as of November 4, 2026.
