Labor Compliance

  1. Become familiar with the Contract Labor Provisions as well as all applicable State and Federal regulations.
  2. Inspect the contractor’s poster board to determine if all required posters and wage rate information are posted in a location accessible to all employees. Make sure all information is current, legible, and applicable to the job. If the poster board is moved, re-inspect it for compliance with stated requirements.
  3. Interview a random sample of employees from each contactor and subcontractor that performed work on the project during the month to record each worker’s classification and hourly wages.
    1. This information is to be written on the “Field Compliance Review and Labor Provisions” for reviewed for compliance. Included in the “Classification Number or Title” Column of this form should include the observed tasks actually being performed by the employee and, if applicable, the equipment being operated at the time of the interview. The “Observation and Comments” column should list anything out of the ordinary about the employee work function.
    2. Use the Field Interview App (on phone or iPAD) – This app syncs to AASHTOWare Project.  Contact LCU for set-up
  4. Keep all employee responses, complaints, and questions confidential. Direct complaints and questions to the Project Engineer or the Labor Compliance Unit 651-366-4238 or lcusupport.dot@state.mn.us
