Federal Regulations on Certified Reports

IllinoisPrevailing Wages

Hello, Was curious to know if certified payroll reports are required by Federal law when there is No work to report. My example is this, we performed work on a public high school in Illinois in which we completed our first phase in September 2020. I turned in CP’s to the GC through that time period. We have one more days’ worth of work to perform later this year. So from September of 2020 until that day arrives we have no work/hours to report. GC is telling me that we have to still turn in individual CP’s for each and every week until we are completed with our work. On page 15 of the Bacon-Davis FAQ’s and as I understand it, the CP is not required until we have hours to report. Is this correct? The Illinois Dept of Labor FAQ also states that NO Work reports are not required. Thanks for your time, Dennis Ford

I concurr that there appears to be a discrepancy between what the US DoL and IL DoL expect. I also agree that IL DoL states that if you have no work to report then no report is needed. Still, I did not see such a notation for the US DoL and in a situation in which you are a subcontractor, the General has to cover his backside, so you can understand why he would err on the side of caution. I would produce the reports if it is not to burdensome.

I hope this information helped. Best of luck.
