CA DIR Newsline No.: 2017-52 Date: June 28, 2017
Public Works Contractor Small Project Exemption Established
Small Project Exemption
Contractors who work exclusively on small public works projects are not required to register as a public works contractor or file electronic certified payroll reports for those projects. Contractors are still required to maintain certified payroll records on a continuous basis, and provide them to the Labor Commissioner’s Office upon request. Additionally, awarding agencies are not required to submit the notice of contract award through DIR’s PWC-100 system on projects that fall within the small project exemption. The small project exemption applies for all public works projects that do not exceed:
– $25,000 for new construction, alteration, installation, demolition or repair
– $15,000 for maintenance
