Compliance-On-Demand (Unlimited Talk & Text)
“We’ve been a PWCA Compliance on Demand subscriber for two years now. Having this subscription is like having PWCA as a partner to our business. Whether we call, text or email, we receive answers and/or a response from PWCA’s legal or compliance department the same day. No more waiting 3 days for the DIR to get back with me—if they get back with me at all. I would therefore recommend PWCA’s Compliance on Demand program to any contractor who’s involved with public works prevailing wage projects.”
Legal (DIR / DLSE Investigation)
In January 2020, we received a DIR notice of Investigation. In May of the same year, we received a Civil Wage Penalty Assessment from the investigation. The DIR’s assessment was $276,500 from a series of alleged apprenticeship and journeyman wage violations on a closed project that lasted about a year. We were stunned beyond belief. Prior to receiving the DIR investigation, several of our employees attended a PWCA prevailing wage seminar. Impressed from the seminar, our employees unanimously recommended that PWCA review our DIR case against us. Instead, I sought guidance from our corporate counsel, until l learned how little he knew about certified payroll and the DIR/DLSE investigative process. Even so, my attorney’s retainer request was ridiculously high. Instead, I listened to my employees and went with PWCA’s much more knowledgeable and affordable legal team. In October of 2020, PWCA’s audit successfully uncovered over $200,000 in statutory and wage rate errors, resulting in a fine reduction to $78,000. As a result, we strongly recommend PWCA’s legal team should your company encounter a DIR/DLSE investigation.
Entry-Level DIR Prevailing Wage Seminar
I would like to thank you for all the great seminar we had yesterday at the University of Phoenix campus, it really brought us a lot of knowledge as of what DIR is all about. We are planning on getting the year-round advisory program that you offer, as it will be of much help to us.
Custom In-House Compliance Training
“PWCA offered in-house training for 3 departments all in one day: Sales and Estimating Dept., Project Management Dept. and the Administrative Dept. At first, I was nervous as to how the employees would respond to compliance training, but afterwards, the CEO and I were overwhelmed with the response from everyone who attended. Our in-house training was a great success!”
Entry-Level DIR Prevailing Wage Seminar
Thank you again for getting back to us so quickly . . . You did such a great job breaking down public works and prevailing wages that we won’t be needing an additional class for anyone in our office at this time. We’ll probably attend a future class down the road just to brush up on our prevailing wage knowledge.
