Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) Makes Changes to the Prevailing Wage Reporting Process

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.
