Multnomah County’s Labor Compliance Program (LCP) will use the guidelines set forth by the State of Oregon - Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) to determine labor and wage compliance have been met on all County projects.
Led by Labor Compliance Officer, Patrick Wybert, the focus of Labor Compliance is on the workforce in the construction trades, specifically ensuring that the appropriate BOLI Prevailing Wage rate is paid to the workforce building our communities. Most construction projects over $50,000 require compliance with BOLI Prevailing wage rate laws. Prevailing wage rate laws ensure local participation and community established pay standards on publicly funded projects. Refer to your contract for the Prevailing wage rate publication date to be used. Additionally, the County is committed to ensuring that our construction projects are workplaces that are free of illegal bias, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or retaliatory conduct.
The LCP will set up volunteers as Labor Compliance Volunteers under the guidance of the Labor Compliance Officer, whom are authorize to conduct labor compliance site visits, interview workers on County property, review certified payroll, review construction daily sign-in sheets, and ensure all required BOLI documentation are being met.
The contract compliance reporting systems currently in place for the monitoring of certified payroll requirements on construction contracts is LCPtracker. Contractors must be invited into the system after contract execution.
- LCPtracker is the system used to report weekly certified payroll for workforce utilization.
