The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) has taken proactive steps to address problems users have had in using MyLCM. Compliance Monitoring Unit staff, contractors and awarding agencies had concerns that MyLCM was not user-friendly and contractors spent a significant amount of time with each certified payroll records (CPR) submission. DIR decided to discontinue their service with MyLCM after several technical requirements were not met by Hill International. DIR and Hill agreed to mutually end the contract effective April 1, 2013.
Contractors should continue to enter their CPRs via MyLCM through the month of February. Effective March 1, the PWC100 application will be activated to allow contractors to submit CPRs online via PDF.
For contractor projects that will not be completed by April 1, contractors should back up their CPRs previously submitted into the MyLCM service. Starting with the first CPR in March, contractors should register into the PWC 100 application and begin uploading CPRs by PDF.
DIR will be hosting a series of webinars for the public. The webinars will cover registration and how to use the online application, PWC 100.
For questions on the new system, please refer to the “Frequently Asked Questions on Filing Certified Payroll Records with the Compliance Monitoring Unit, ” which you can find here.

I think it is one of the best decisions made by DIR to make changes in the wages process. It has been seen from past some times that there is a great increase in the number of strikes due to wages and working conditions problems. The main reason behind this is lack of communication between the employer and the employee. It is highly required to have good relations between these two parties to make the work process smooth and hassle free. To know more about the industrial relations, click here.
