SECTION I
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
The City of Anaheim institutes this Labor Compliance Program ( "LCP ") for the
purpose of implementing its policy relative to the labor compliance provisions of State -
funded and Federally -fimded public works contracts. This LCP contains the labor
compliance standards required by State laws, regulations, and directives.
The California Labor Code Section 1770, et seq. requires that contractors on
public works projects pay their workers based on the prevailing wage rates which are
established and issued by the Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor
Statistics and Research ( "DLSR ").
In establishing this LCP, the City of Anaheim adheres to the statutory
requirements as set forth in Labor Code section 1771.5(b). Further, it is the intent of the
City of Anaheim to actively enforce this LCP by monitoring construction sites for the
payment of prevailing wage rates, and by requiring contractors and subcontractors having
workers on sites to submit copies of certified payroll records demonstrating their
compliance with the payment of prevailing wage rates.
California Labor Code Section 1776 as amended, requires contractors to keep
accurate payroll records of trades' workers on all public works projects and to submit
copies of certified payroll records upon request.
California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires contractors to employ registered
apprentices on public works projects.
Should applicable sections of the Labor Code or Title 8 of the California Code of
Regulations undergo alteration, amendment, or deletion, the City of Anaheim will modify
the affected portions of this program accordingly.
The City of Anaheim's Labor Compliance Officer ( "LCO ") shall be responsible
for implementation and enforcement of the City of Anaheim's LCP, which includes, but
is not limited to;
1. Contractors' payment of applicable general prevailing wage rates.
2. Contractors' employment of properly registered apprentices.
3. Contractors' providing certified payroll records upon request but not less than
weekly.
-2-
4. Monitoring construction sites for the verification of proper payments of
prevailing wage rates and work classification.
5. Conducting pre job conferences with contractors /subcontractors.
6. Withholding contract payments and imposing penalties for noncompliance.
7. Preparation and submittal of annual reports.

PUBLIC WORKS SUBJECT TO PREVAILING WAGE LAWS
State prevailing wage rates apply to all public works contracts as set forth in Labor
Code Sections 1720 et Le ., and include, but are not limited to, such types of work as
construction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair work. DLSR predetermines the
appropriate prevailing wage rates for particular construction trades and crafts by county.
For more information, see the Prevailing Wage Contractor Information handout

1. Types of Contracts to Which Prevailing Wage Requirements Apply
As provided in Labor Code Section 1771.7(a) and (b), an awarding body

Labor Code Section 1771.5(b) with respect to that public works project.
2. Applicable Dates for Enforcement of the LCP
The applicable dates for enforcement of the City of Anaheim's LCP is

are not subject to the jurisdiction of the LCP until after the program has received initial or
final approval.
3. Exemption

payment of prevailing wage. This exemption remains unchanged under an LCP initiated
and enforced.
-5-
ARTICLE II

all listed subcontractors and to any substituted subcontractors.
ARTICLE IV
REVIEW OF CERTIFIED PAYROLL RECORDS
1. Certified Payroll Records Required
The contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain payrolls and basic
payroll - related records (i.e. timecards, canceled checks, cash receipts, trust fund forms.,
accounting ledgers, tax forms, superintendent and foreman daily logs, etc.) during the
course of the work and shall preserve them for a period of three (3) years thereafter for all
trade workers working on projects which are subject to the LCP. Such records shall
include the name, address, and social security number of each worker, his or her
classification, a general description of the work each worker performed each day, the rate
of pay (including rates of contributions for, or costs assumed to provide fringe benefits),
daily and weekly number of hours worked, and actual wages paid. See Form 5
(Training Fund Contributions Form), Form 6 Contractor Fringe Benefit Statement,
and Form 7 (Public Works Payroll Reporting Form) attached hereto.
a. Submittal of Certified Payroll Records
The contractor and each subcontractor shall maintain weekly
certified payroll records for submittal to the City of Anaheim as required. The contractor
shall be responsible for the submittal of payroll records of all its subcontractors. All
certified payroll records shall be accompanied by a statement of compliance signed by
the contractor or each subcontractor indicating that the payroll records are correct and
complete, that the wage rates contained therein are not less than those determined by the
Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, and that the classifications set forth
for each employee conform with the work performed.
Time cards, front and back copies of cancelled checks, daily logs,
employee sign -in sheets and/or any other records maintained for the purposes of reporting
payroll may be requested by the City of Anaheim at any time and shall be provided
within 10 days following the receipt of the request.
The certified payroll records required by Labor Code Section 1776
as amended, may be maintained and submitted electronically subject to the following
conditions:
A. The reports contain all of the information required by Labor
Code Section 1776 as amended, with the information organized
52
in a manner that is similar or identical to how the information is
reported on the Department of Industrial Relations' suggested
"Public Works Payroll Reporting Form "(Form A- l -131);
B. The reports are in a format and use software that is readily
accessible and available to contractors, awarding bodies, Labor
Compliance Programs, and the Department of Industrial
Relations;
C. The reports submitted to the City of Anaheim are either (1) in the
form of a non - modifiable image or record that bears an electronic
signature or includes a copy of any original certification made on
paper, or alternatively (2) printed out and submitted on paper
with an original signature;
D. The requirements for redacting certain information shall be
followed when certified payroll records are disclosed to the
public pursuant to Labor Code Section 1776(e), whether the
records are provided electronically or as hard (paper) copies; and
E. No contractor or subcontractor shall be mandated to submit or
receive electronic reports when it otherwise lacks the resources
or capacity to do so, nor shall any contractor or subcontractor be
required to purchase or use proprietary software that is not
generally available to the public.
b. Full Accountability
Each individual, laborer or craftsperson working on a public works
contract must appear on the payroll. The basic concept is that the employer who pays the
trade worker must report that individual on its payroll. This includes individuals working
as apprentices in an apprenticeable trade. Owner - operators are to be reported by the
contractor employing them; rental equipment operators are to be reported by the rental
company paying the workers' wages.
Sole owners and partners who work on a contract must also submit a
certified payroll record listing the days and hours worked and the trade classification
descriptive of the work actually done.
The contractor shall (i) provide the records required under this
section to the City of Anaheim within ten (10) days of each pay period, and (ii) make
available the records for inspection by the Department of Industrial Relations, and (iii)
permit representatives of the City of Anaheim and the Department of Industrial Relations
to interview trades workers during working hours on the project site.
-10-
C. Responsibility for Subcontractors
The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring adherence to labor
standards provisions by its subcontractors. Moreover, the prime contractor is responsible
for Labor Code violations of its subcontractors in accordance with Labor Code Section
1775 as amended.
2. Payment to Employees
Employees shall be paid on a regular basis. An employer must
establish a fixed workweek (Sunday through Saturday, for example) and payday (such as
every Friday or the preceding day should such payday fall on a holiday). On each and
every payday, each worker must be paid all sums due as of the end of the preceding
workweek and must be provided with an itemized wage statement.
If an individual is called a subcontractor, whereas in fact, he /she is
merely a journey level mechanic supplying only his/her labor, such an individual would
not be deemed a bona fide subcontractor and must be reported on the payroll of the prime
contractor as a trade worker. Moreover, any person who does not hold a valid
contractor's license cannot be a subcontractor, and anyone hired by that person is the
worker or employee of the general contractor for purposes of prevailing wage
requirements, certified payroll reporting, and workers' compensation laws.
The worker's rate for straight time hours must equal or exceed the
rate specified in the contract by reference to the "Prevailing Wage Determinations" for
the class of work actually performed. Any work performed on Saturday, Sunday, and/or
on a holiday, or portion thereof, must be paid for hours worked in excess of eight (8)
hours in a day and forty (40) hours in a workweek shall be premium pay. All work
performed on Saturday, Sunday and holidays shall be paid pursuant to the sample
Prevailing Wage Determination. See Form 8 attached hereto.
3. Apprentices
The City of Anaheim shall:
A. Inform contractors and subcontractors bidding public works about
apprenticeship requirements.
B. Check the Division of Apprenticeship Standards Debarment List at
http:// www .dir.ca.gov /das /debarment.htm
C. Send copies of awards and notices of discrepancies to the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards as required under Section 1773.3 of the Labor
Code.
D. Refer complaints and promptly report suspected violations of
apprenticeship requirements to the Division of Apprenticeship
Standards.
The City of Anaheim shall be responsible for enforcing prevailing wage
pay requirements for apprentices consistent with the practice of the Labor
Commissioner, including:
A. That any contributions required pursuant to Labor Code Section
1777.5(m) are paid to the appropriate entity.
B. That apprentices are paid no less than the prevailing apprentice rate.
C. That workers listed and paid as apprentices on the certified payroll
records are duly registered as apprentices with the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards.
D. Require that the regular prevailing wage rate be paid to any worker who
is not a duly registered apprentice and is paid for all hours in excess of
the maximum ratio permitted under Labor Code Section 1777.5(g), as
determined at the conclusion of the employing contractor's or
subcontractor's work on the public works contract.
Apprentices shall be permitted to work as such only when they are
registered, individually, under a bona fide apprenticeship program registered and
approved by the State Division of Apprenticeship Standards. The allowable ratio of
apprentices to journeypersons in any craft/classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to its entire workforce under the registered program.
Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate who is not
registered shall be paid the journey level wage rate determined by the Department of
Industrial Relations for the classification of the work he /she actually performed. Pre -
apprentice trainees, trainees in non- apprenticeable crafts, and others who are not duly
registered will not be permitted on public works projects unless they are paid full
prevailing wage rates as journeypersons. For additional information, see Form 2,
(Checklist of Labor Law Requirements) attached hereto.
Compliance with California Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires all public
works contractors and subcontractors to:
-12-
a. Submit contract award information to the Apprenticeship Committee
for each apprenticeable craft or trade in the area of the Project; and
b. Request dispatch of apprentices from the applicable Apprenticeship
Program(s) and employ apprentices on public works projects in a ratio to journeypersons
which in no case shall be less than one (1) hour of apprentice work to each five (5) hours
of journeyperson work. See Form 3 (Apprenticeship Information) attached hereto; and
C. Contribute to the applicable Apprenticeship Program(s) or the
California Apprenticeship Council in the amount identified in the prevailing wage rate
publication for journeypersons and apprentices. If payments are not made to an
Apprenticeship Program, they shall be made to the California Apprenticeship Council,
Post Office Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142. See Form 4 attached hereto.
If the contractor is registered to train apprentices, it shall furnish to the City of
Anaheim written evidence of the registration (i.e., Apprenticeship Agreement or
Statement of Registration) of its training program and apprentices, as well as the ratios
allowed and the wage rates required to be paid there under for the area of construction,
prior to using any apprentices in the contract work. It should be noted that a prior
approval for a separate project does not confirm approval to train on any project. The
contractor /subcontractor must check with the applicable Joint Apprenticeship Committee
to verify status.
4. Review of Certified Payroll Records
The City of Anaheim shall ensure that public works contractors comply with the
prevailing wage requirements found in the Public Works Chapter of the Labor Code.
This regulation intends to establish minimum requirements that the City of Anaheim will
meet or exceed in carrying out that function as follows:
(a) Payroll records furnished by contractors and subcontractors shall be
reviewed by the City of Anaheim as promptly as practicable after
receipt thereof, but in no event more than 30 days after such receipt.
The City of Anaheim's review is defined as an inspection of the records
ftimished to determine if (1) all appropriate data elements identified in
Labor Code Section 1776(a) have been reported; (2) certification forms
have been completed and signed in compliance with Labor Code
Section 1776(b); and (3) the correct prevailing wage rates have been
reported as paid for each classification of labor listed thereon, with
confirmation of payment in a manner and to the extent described in
subpart (b) below.
(b) "Confirmation" of payroll records furnished by contractors and
subcontractors shall be defined as an independent corroboration of
-13-
reported prevailing wage payments. Confirmation will be accomplished
by the City of Anaheim through worker interviews, the examination of
paychecks and/or pay stubs, direct confirmation of payments from third
party recipients of "employer payments" (as defined at Section 16000 of
Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations), or any other reasonable
method of corroboration. For each month that a contractor or
subcontractor reports having workers employed on public works, the
City of Anaheim shall confirm the furnished payrolls randomly for at
least one worker for at least one weekly period within that month.
Confirmation shall also be undertaken by the City of Anaheim
whenever complaints from workers or other interested persons or other
circumstances or information reasonably suggest to the City of Anaheim
that payroll records by a contractor or subcontractor are inaccurate.
(c) The City of Anaheim shall conduct in- person inspections at the sites at
which the contract for public work is being performed. These on -site
visits will be undertaken randomly or as deemed necessary by the City
of Anaheim. On -site visits shall be undertaken during each week that
workers are present at sites at which the contract for public works is
being performed. All on -site visits shall include a visual inspection of
(1) the copy of the determination(s) of the Director of Industrial
Relations of the prevailing wage rate of per diem wages required to be
posted at each job site in compliance with Labor Code Section 1773.2,
and (2) the Notice of the City of Anaheim's approval that is required to
be posted at the job site in accordance with Section 16429, listing the
telephone number to call for inquiries, questions or assistance with
regard to labor wage compliance issues. On -site visits may include
other activities deemed necessary by the City of Anaheim to
independently corroborate prevailing wage payments that are reported
on payroll records that are furnished by contractors and sub - contractors.
5. Audit of Certified Payroll Records
An audit shall be conducted by the City of Anaheim whenever the City has
determined that there has been a violation resulting in an underpayment of wages. The
Audit Record form (attached hereto as Attachment B) will summarize the nature of the
violation and the basis upon which the determination was made. After the City has
determined that violations have resulted, notification shall be provided to the contractor
and affected sub contractors and they will be given 10 days following such notification to
submit information that is consistent with the "good faith mistake" factors set forth in
Labor Code Section 1775(a)(2)(A)(i) and (ii). If the City of Anaheim determines that the
failure to pay correct wages was a good faith mistake, the city shall not be required to
request that the laborer Commissioner determine the amount of penalties to be assessed
-14-
under Labor Code Section 1775 as amended if the underpayment of wages is promptly
corrected and proof of such payment is submitted to the City:
1. RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN COMPLAINT
Upon receipt of a written complaint alleging that a contractor or subcontractor has failed
to pay prevailing wages as required by the Labor Code, the City of Anaheim shall do all
of the following:
(1) Within 15 days after receipt of the complaint, send a written
acknowledgement to the complaining party that the complaint has been received
and identifying the name, address, and telephone number of the investigator
assigned to the complaint; (2) Within 15 days after receipt of the complaint,
provide the affected contractor with the notice required under Labor Code Section
1775(c) if the complaint is against a subcontractor; (3) Notify the complaining
party in writing of the resolution of the complaint within ten days after the
complaint has been resolved by the City of Anaheim; (4) Notify the complaining
party in writing at least once every 30 days of the status of the complaint that has
not been resolved by the city;
(5) Notify the complaining party in writing at least once every 90 days of the
status of the complaint or in litigation before another entity.
With respect to apprenticeship standards, the City of Anaheim's duties are as follows:
(1) The City of Anaheim, acting as the Awarding Body, shall (A) inform
contractors and subcontractors bidding public works about apprenticeship
requirements, (B) send copies of awards and notices of discrepancies to the
Division of Apprenticeship Standards as required under Section 1773.3 of the
Labor Code, and (C) refer complaints and promptly report suspected violations of
apprenticeship requirements to the Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
(2) The City of Anaheim shall be responsible for enforcing prevailing wage
pay requirements for apprentices consistent with the practice of the Labor
Commissioner, including (A) that any contributions required pursuant to Labor
Code Section 1777.5(m) are paid to the appropriate entity, (B) that apprentices are
paid no less than the prevailing apprentice rate, (C) that workers listed and paid as
apprentices on the certified payroll records are duly registered as apprentices with
the division of Apprenticeship Standards, and (D) requiring that the regular
prevailing wage rate be paid (i) to any worker who is not duly registered
apprentice and (ii) for all hours in excess of the maximum ratio permitted under
labor Code Section 1777.5(g), as determined at the conclusion of the employing
contractor or subcontractor's work on the public works contract.
-15-
Project Labor Compliance Review/Enforcement Report
For each public work project subject to the City of Anaheim's enforcement of prevailing
wage requirements, a separate written summary of labor compliance activities and
relevant facts pertaining to that particular project shall be maintained. That summary
shall demonstrate that reasonable and sufficient efforts have been made to enforce
prevailing wage requirements consistent with the practice of the Labor Commissioner.
Compliance records for a project shall be retained until the later of (1) at least one year
after the acceptance of the public work or five years after the cessation of all labor on a
public work that has not been accepted, or (2) one year after a final decision or judgment
in any litigation under labor Code Section 1742. The written summary shall include
information maintained electronically, provided that the summary or report can be printed
out in a hard copy form or is an electronic format that (1) can be transmitted by e-mail or
compact disk and (2) would be acceptable for the filing of documents in a federal or state
court of record with the State of California.
A sample copy of the City of Anaheim's Project Labor Compliance
Review /Enforcement Report form is attached in Section VI as Form 18.

ARTICLE V
ENFORCEMENT
The City of Anaheim, as an approved LCP, has a duty to the Director to enforce the
requirements of Chapter 1, part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code and these regulations
in a manner consistent with the practices of the Labor Commissioner. It is the practice of
the City of Anaheim to refer to the Director's ongoing advisory service of web -posed
public works coverage determinations as a source of information and guidance in making
enforcement decisions. It is also the practice of the City of Anaheim to be represented by
an attorney in prevailing wage hearings conducted pursuant to Labor Code Section
1742(b) and Sections 17201 -17270 of title 8 of the California Code of Regulations.
If an investigation reveals that a willful violation of the Labor Code has occurred,
the City of Anaheim will make a written report to the Labor Commissioner (see Form 14
attached hereto) which shall include: (1) an audit consisting of a comparison of payroll
records to the best available information as to the actual hours worked and (2) the
classification of workers employed on the public works contract. Six (6) types of willful
violations are reported:
1. Failure to Comply with Prevailing Wage Rate Requirements
Failure to comply with prevailing wage rate requirements (as set forth in
the Labor Code and contracts) is determined a willful violation whenever less than the
stipulated basic hourly rate is paid to workers, or if overtime, holiday rates, fringe
benefits, and/or employer payments are paid at a rate less than stipulated.
2. Falsification of Payroll Records, Misclassification of Work, and/or
Failure to Accurately Report Hours of Work
Falsification of payroll records and failure to accurately report hours of
work is characterized by deliberate underreporting of hours of work; underreporting the
headcount; stating that the proper prevailing wage rate was paid when, in fact, it was not;
clearly misclassifying the work performed by the worker; and any other deliberate and/or
willful act which results in the falsification or inaccurate reporting of payroll records.
3. Failure to Submit Certified Payroll Records
The contractors and subcontractors shall have ten (10) days upon written
notification by the City of Anaheim to comply with the requirement of submittal of
weekly certified payroll records and /or to correct inaccuracies or omissions that have
been detected in certified payroll records.
-17-
4. For Failure to Pay Fringe Benefits
Fringe benefits are defined as the amounts stipulated for employer
payments or trust fund contributions and are determined to be part of the required
prevailing wage rate. Failure to pay or provide fringe benefits and/or make trust fund
contributions on a timely basis is equivalent to payment of less than the stipulated wage
rate and shall be reported to the Labor Commissioner as a willful violation, upon
completion of an investigation and audit.
5. Failure to Pay the Correct Apprentice Rates and /or Misclassiflcation of
Workers as Apprentices
Failure to pay the correct apprentice rate or classifying a worker as an
apprentice when not properly registered is equivalent to payment of less than the
stipulated wage rate and shall be reported to the Labor Commissioner as a willful
violation, upon completion of an investigation and audit.
6. For the Taking of Kickbacks
Accepting or extracting kickbacks from employee wages under Labor Code
Section 1778 constitutes a felony and may be prosecuted by the appropriate enforcement
agency.

Operational Manual
-46-
OPERATION MANUAL
A. SITE VISITATIONS
1. Safety is the paramount factor for any site visit to any construction
projects. The site monitor shall not enter any area that appears unsafe. Site
monitors are expected to exercise reasonable caution at all times.
2. All authorized personnel visiting any construction site are required
to be properly identified as a representative by wearing visible picture IDs
(badge), or identifying themselves as such. Additionally, all authorized personnel
are required to wear hard hats and safety shoes.
3. Authorized personnel shall visit all sites on a non - interference basis
and take a minimum amount of the workers' time for interview purposes.
4. Upon arrival at a site, the City of Anaheim's site monitor shall check
in at the site superintendent's (contractor's) trailer prior to any interviewing. In
the event there is not a construction trailer, the site monitor shall check in at the
site's administrative office. The site monitor shall identify their self and state the
purpose of the visit and shall sign in if required to do so. If the site superintendent
cites some reason that denies access to the site, the site monitor shall promptly and
politely remove their self and shall make a note of this occurrence and include in
their report.
5. The site monitor shall check the following items are displayed in the
contractor's trailer:
FOE Posters
Prevailing wage sheets posted
Sign -in Log (if such log is required of contractor)
Listing of subcontractors on site
If any of these items are not readily visible, the site monitor shall remind the
contractor that these postings are part of the contractual requirements. On
subsequent visits, the site monitor shall make sure that these items are posted, or
the contractor will be found to be in noncompliance.
6. There will be times when the site superintendent is somewhere on
the site and/or there is no contractor present in the trailer. If all trailers are empty
or locked, try to locate the site superintendent on the site prior to commencing
interviewing.
-47-
B. INTERVIEWING
1. Once the site monitor has checked in with the site superintendent
and obtained access to the site, locate trades workers working in clusters.
Approach the workers individually in a non - threatening, professional manner. The
site monitor shall identify their self and indicate that they are a representative of
the City of Anaheim and need only a few seconds of the trades worker's time to
ask some very generic questions to ensure that they are receiving the proper rate of
pay for the type of work they are doing. Again, the site monitor shall not endanger
their own or any trades worker's safety in conducting these interviews. Do not
insist that someone on a scaffold 40 feet in the air come down for an interview.
The site monitor shall not ask anyone to form a line until they can be interviewed
but shall allow the trade workers to continue working until they can be
interviewed individually.
These interviews are random; two or three trades workers for each
subcontractor are more than sufficient for one visit. Any persons missed are
usually picked up on the next visit. If only one trades worker is at the site, then
the site monitor shall interview that person if possible. If the site monitor is told
that the rest of the crew will be there in an hour, do not wait, unless the total site
interviewing will take that length of time. Thirty minutes of interviewing per site
is typically sufficient, depending upon the site size and /or number of
subcontractors present. Contractor trades worker should also be interviewed.
2. Using the Labor Compliance Site Visitation Interview form
(attached hereto as Form 9), the site monitor shall ask each trades worker the
following: name, social security number, employer, title (trade), rate of pay, and
task being performed at the time of interview.
3. Should someone decline to speak with the site monitor, respect those
wishes. If someone asks if this is union - related, tell them no. The City of
Anaheim works with both open and closed shop trades.
4. If the site monitor tries to interview someone who does not speak
English and cannot communicate in the appropriate language, try to locate a
coworker who can interpret. If an entire crew is unable to speak English and no
interpreter is available, include this in your report.
-48-
5. If someone refuses to disclose their social security number to the site
monitor, respect those wishes. However, assure the trades worker that all
information given is kept strictly confidential.
6. If someone does not know their rate of pay, ask for a guesstimate. If
the response is, "whatever prevailing wage is ", so indicate on the form.
7. If someone indicates that he is an apprentice, the site monitor shall
ask him "what period ? ". The period can be anywhere from i st to 10th. If they are
not sure, ask them how many years they have been apprenticed in the specific
trade and/or to guesstimate and so indicate on the interview form.
8. ALWAYS thank the trades worker for their time.
9. Keep in mind that the site monitor is there to collect information
only, do not tell them how to do their jobs. Should the site monitor witness what
they consider to be a potentially unsafe or unwarranted condition, the site monitor
is to contact the site inspector or job superintendent of their findings immediately
and make a note on the site visitation log of what was observed. Upon your return
to the office, report the findings.
C. REPORTING
All original interview forms shall be submitted in a timely manner to the
LCP Officer for the City of Anaheim.
