Certified Payroll

Why It's Required

Per the Davis Bacon and Related Acts, Copeland Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and Fair Labor Standards Act, CDOT requires all contractors to pay prevailing wages to the labor workforce. This requirement is enforced through the submission of weekly certified payrolls through the LCPTracker system.
