More about the Prevailing Wage Training Courses from CPW
The consultants at CPW want to share our unmatched prevailing wage knowledge with your business and help you implement best practices, stay in compliance, and most importantly, save you money! Learn more about what each training covers through the following detailed descriptions.
Wage Decision
This training is offered monthly and covers the various rules and regulations associated with determining the appropriate wage decision to utilize on a
prevailing wage project. We identify the responsibility of the awarding bodies, contractors and subcontractors and address common areas of oversight by many operating in our industry. It is the goal of this training to educate the participant to be the most knowledgeable in order to advise awarding bodies and general contractors and comply at the highest level with California state and Federal Davis Bacon prevailing wage regulations. In our opinion, this is the most important training our company offers and the most misunderstood area of prevailing wage compliance.
Apprentice
This training is offered once per quarter and discusses in detail the California apprenticeship requirements and the necessary document filings needed to maintain compliance. It is the goal of this training to educate the participant not only as to their responsibilities but as to their rights regarding mandated California Apprenticeship Training and to comply with California’s strict Apprenticeship regulations. We review the requirements for Division of Apprenticeship mandated filings, the consequences for non-compliance, which can be severe and the most recent legislation which is presenting some difficulties for merit shop contractors operating on large prevailing wage projects after 2016.
Best Practices for Labor Compliance
This training is offered once per quarter and reviews the prevailing wage regulations and necessary documents and filings that are required to maintain compliance while on a prevailing wage project. It is the goal of this training to educate the participant on how to maintain a systematic documentation and procedure process to assure preparation for an eventual audit. We address the new contractor registration requirements, the new eCPR DIR system and Pre-emptive Defense Strategies and Record-Keeping Best Practices.
Certified Payroll Reporting Procedures
This training is offered once per quarter and reviews how to accurately document your payroll information to comply with California & Federal Davis-Bacon regulations. This is a hands on training that breaks down a certified payroll through every field required. It addresses the difference between California State and Federal Davis-Bacon requirements. We again address the new California-required eCPR system and its difficulties if the contractor cannot upload through an xml file, but must enter the data manually.
