Contractor's payroll records, contents

In plain English

When a company builds something for the government, they have to keep detailed records showing each worker's name, job type, hours worked, and pay. These records must be kept for one year after the job is done and can be inspected by government representatives. Before getting the final payment, the company has to sign a sworn statement saying they followed all the rules. Also, each company's name and home city and state must be shown on their trucks and big equipment used on the job, readable from 20 feet away — unless the contract is for $250,000 or less, in which case that sign rule does not apply.
