A) Enforcement of these rules and the laws upon which the rules are based will be the responsibility of the Bureau of Labor Standards, under the direction of the Director.

B) Each contractor and sub-contractor shall have payroll records available to a Bureau representative on each site covered by a wage determination. The records must be current to within three days of the latest pay period that was paid by the contractor or sub-contractor. These records must be retained, preserved, and open to inspection by the Bureau for at least three years following the completion of the project.

C) The records must, at a minimum, contain the name, trade or job title, hourly wage rate, benefit rate(s), total wages paid, and total benefit(s). paid for each of that employer's workers that worked on the site, for each payroll period.

D) The trade listed on these records is not binding on the Bureau. The trade for which a worker should be paid may be determined through interviews with the affected worker(s), any co-workers, or any supervisors who are working or have worked on the site.

E) Each day a worker is not paid in accordance with the law and these rules, is a separate violation.
