Working for a port
Port authority projects are large, long, and frequently federally assisted, which brings the weekly WH-347 alongside the state eCPR duty. Ports vary in how they collect certified payroll, so treat the contract documents as the source of truth for any portal, and treat the direct DIR filing as non-negotiable.
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).
