PUBLIC WORKS FILINGFiled on the City of LA & LAUSD portals

Certified payroll shouldn't eat your Friday afternoons.

Public works contracts require a weekly certified payroll report for every worker, every craft, and every classification on the job — submitted directly on the awarding agency's own portal, whether that's the City of Los Angeles or LAUSD. Missing a submission, or getting one wrong, can hold up your pay application or trigger an audit. Send us your weekly hours and wage data, and our consultants take it from there: we calculate, format, and file it ourselves, billed hourly for the time it takes.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is certified payroll and when is it required?+
Certified payroll is a weekly report of wages paid to every worker on a public works project, required under federal Davis-Bacon and California prevailing wage law. It's required on nearly all state, county, and city-funded construction contracts in Los Angeles, including LAUSD projects.
Do I need to use your software or create an account?+
No. There's no portal to learn — you send us your hours and wage data each week, and we handle the calculation and filing ourselves on the City of LA or LAUSD's own system.
How is this billed?+
We bill hourly for the time spent preparing and filing your certified payroll each week, rather than a flat software subscription.
Do you handle apprentice documentation too?+
Yes. Apprentice-to-journeyman ratios and apprenticeship program registration are checked alongside your certified payroll, since both are reviewed together during an audit.
