CA DIR Labor Compliance Rules and Regulations

Our CA DIR Labor Compliance Rules and Regulations course covers the DIR Prevailing Wage requirements, which are designed to protect the pay and rights of workers on public works projects. The course explains the law in a straightforward way so participants can understand how it applies in real situations.

One of the main topics is who counts as a “worker” under DIR rules. This includes laborers, mechanics, and anyone else involved in a public works project. The course also explains what counts as employment—anyone contributing to a project in any way is considered an employee for prevailing wage purposes. This ensures that all workers are covered and fairly compensated, no matter their role or contract type.

The course also covers how prevailing wages are calculated, including standard hourly rates and premium pay for overtime or weekend work. Participants learn about the record-keeping and payroll reporting employers and contractors are required to follow, as well as the consequences for not meeting these requirements.

By the end of the course, participants understand who is protected under the law, how wages are calculated, and what compliance involves. It provides the tools to make sure workers are treated fairly and paid correctly on public works projects.
