New Apprentice Hires on Public Works Jobs
A technician is not considered an apprentice until his/her DAS 1 (Apprentice Agreement) has been approved by the State of California Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS). In addition, the technician may not be used as an apprentice on Public Works jobs until they have been approved by the DAS. For more information regarding rules and regulations on Public Works jobs contact the WBFAA at 800-809-0280 or email admin@wbfaa.net You may check the status of a pending apprentice by visiting the DIR/DAS website

NEW PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION LAW
[SB 854]
SB 854, a budget trailer bill that was signed into law on June 20, 2014, and became effective immediately, made several significant changes to laws pertaining to the administration and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Among other things, SB 854 established a new public works contractor registration program to replace prior Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) and Labor Compliance Program (LCP) requirements for bond-funded and other specified public works projects.
The fees collected through this new program will be used to fund all of DIR’s public works activities, including compliance monitoring and enforcement,
the determination of prevailing wage rates, public works coverage determinations, and hearing enforcement appeals. Essentials of public works contractor registration program:
* Contractors will be subject to a registration and annual renewal fee that has been set initially at $300. The fee is non-refundable and applies to all contractors and subcontractors who intend to bid or perform work on public works projects (as defined under the Labor Code).
* Contractors will apply and pay the fee online and must meet minimum
qualifications to be registered as eligible to bid and work on public works
o Must have workers’ compensation coverage for any employees and only use subcontractors who are registered public works contractors.
o Must have Contractors State License Board license if applicable to trade.
o Must have no delinquent unpaid wage or penalty assessments owed to
any employee or enforcement agency.
o Must not be under federal or state debarment.
o Must not be in prior violation of this registration requirement once it
becomes effective. However, for the first violation in a 12 month period, a
contractor may still qualify for registration by paying an additional penalty.
* The registration fee is not related to any project. It is more like a license that
enables the registrant to bid on and perform public works.
