Working for a university
University of California and CSU campuses administer their own capital programs and typically handle labor compliance through campus facilities or design and construction offices. The DIR duties do not change on university work: register on the project, file eCPRs directly with DIR, and keep WH-347s where federal funds apply.
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).
