Or. Admin. Code § 839-015-0300 - Contractor to Submit "Wage Certification" Form

(1) Every construction, farm and forest labor contractor must, unless otherwise exempt, submit a certified true copy of all payroll records to the Wage and Hour Division when the contractor or the contractor's agent pays employees directly as follows:

(a) The first report is due no later than 35 days from the time the contractor begins work on each contract and must include whatever payrolls the contractor has paid out at the time of the report;

(b) The second report is due no later than 35 days following the end of the first 35 day period on each contract and must include whatever payrolls have been issued as of the time of the report;

(c) If the contract lasts more than 70 days, succeeding wage certification reports must include whatever payrolls the contractor has paid out at the time of the report, with the reports due at successive 35 day intervals, e.g. 105 days, 140 days from the time the contractor begins work on the contract.

(2) The certified true copy of payroll records may be submitted on Form WH-141. This form is available to any interested person. Any person may copy this form or use a similar form provided such form contains all the elements of Form WH-141.

(3) The wages paid to the officers of the corporation may be omitted from the Form WH-141 or the other records submitted under this rule.

(4) The certified true copy of payroll records shall be submitted to: Bureau of Labor and Industries, Wage and Hour Division, License Unit, 3865 Wolverine Street, NE, Bldg. E-1, Salem, OR 97305.

(5) Contractors who have recruited, solicited or supplied workers from the state of Oregon who are employed on construction, farm or forestation/reforestation contracts located outside the State of Oregon must comply with the provisions of this rule.

(6) For purposes of forest fire suppression by contract crew, the term "contract" as used in this rule means the acceptance of each dispatch order to a fire incident by a contractor supplying a contract crew to perform such work.

(7) The acceptance of a dispatch order for each separate crew will be deemed to constitute a separate and distinct contract such that the failure of a contractor to submit certified payrolls for each crew as required by this rule is a separate violation.
