Certified payroll reporting doesn’t have to be complicated. In this member-exclusive, in-person session, you’ll see how LCPtracker streamlines compliance, helps you avoid costly mistakes, and empowers your team. We’ll explore the Contractor/Subcontractor module and share practical tips and resources to help entry and mid-level staff keep your projects running smoothly. 

Subcontracting violations are the most common and most costly grievance union contractors face. Yet, most of these issues can be mitigated or avoided entirely through sound subcontracts and strong labor relations advocacy. But that’s not enough; ensuring that your project managers know their rights, take advantage of subcontracting exclusions where available, and can properly advise subs on how to comply are all essentials covered in this course.

Unexpected overtime can make or break your bottom line. Yet, the rules are easy to misinterpret or take for granted, causing cost creep and wage claims. Join this class to ensure your team knows how to take advantage of overtime and Special Single Shift (SSS) rules under the Laborers, OE3, Carpenters, and Cement Masons Master Agreements.
