The portal situation
Sacramento County holds one of the four legacy Labor Compliance Programs, so its projects are generally exempt from the direct DIR eCPR filing. Follow the submission channel named in the County contract. The WH-347 duty is untouched on federally assisted work.
What you still owe on these projects
The exemption changes where certified payroll goes, not whether it exists. The current exemption list is on DIR's eCPR exemptions page, and three duties survive it:
- Certified payroll still gets prepared and submitted through the channel this body names in the contract. The exemption moves the destination, not the work.
- On federally assisted projects the federal WH-347 with its Statement of Compliance is due every week under Davis-Bacon rules. The form and instructions live at the U.S. Department of Labor.
- Labor Code 1776 record duties apply on every California public works job: keep certified records and produce them within 10 days of a written request or face the $100 per worker per day penalty, enforceable by withholding from progress payments (Labor Code 1776).
If you also work projects for any body outside the four legacy programs, the direct DIR eCPR duty applies there in full. Most subs mix both kinds of work, which is exactly the mess we manage.
Working for a county
County public works departments buy across every trade, and several of the large counties run third-party compliance portals. A county portal upload is the county's monitoring copy. Unless the county is one of the four legacy Labor Compliance Programs, the direct DIR eCPR filing is still owed under your own registration.
