Now comes the fun part, the Contractor MUST submit certified payroll reports for each week of the project.
On this payroll report is the employees name, address, social security number and pay rate (including any benefits). Not submitting them stops the Owner from paying the contractor. Lying on the reports is fraud and the Feds aggressively presue it with heavy fines and jail time.
if the project is funded with Public money it should be subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, this requires the employees doing the respective work be paid the PREVAILING WAGE in that area, this is available from the Owner/City, as it was included in the bid documents.
Yes you are correct, I did not know the name of the act. That was one of big complaints at the protest.
