The portal situation
We have not verified a dedicated compliance portal for Palmdale School District. 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).
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, under your own PWCR registration (Labor Code 1771.4). DIR is explicit that submitting certified payroll to the awarding body, the prime, or a portal "does not put you in compliance with the state unless you submit eCPRs directly to DIR" (DIR eCPR FAQ).
- Federal WH-347 weekly when federal money is in the project, with the Statement of Compliance signed (U.S. Department of Labor).
- Records on demand. A written request for certified payroll records starts a 10 day clock. Miss it and the penalty is $100 per worker per calendar day, enforceable by withholding from your progress payments (Labor Code 1776).
Working for a school district
School district work is bond-funded in waves, which is why districts register batches of projects at once and why a sub can go from zero to three active public works jobs in a month. Districts rarely run their own compliance portal. Unless the district's contract names one, your certified payroll obligations are the standard pair: the direct DIR eCPR filing under your own PWCR registration, and the federal WH-347 when federal money is in the project. District business offices do respond to labor compliance complaints, and progress payments on district work can be withheld over missing certified payroll.
