Effective Aug. 15, contractors performing public work for schools and local governments are required to report certified payroll records via the online NJ Wage Hub portal as part of the state’s efforts to ensure compliance with prevailing wage laws.
Both public works contractors and contracting public bodies are urged to create their online accounts at the NJ Wage Hub well in advance of this date, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development said this week.
The DOL said that summer is typically a busy time for school districts that are hiring contractors to do construction work at their facilities and the state wants to ensure that both school boards and public contractors are following the rules.
