Your four responsibilities as a public works contractor (per DIR)
Insurance and bond checklist for public works
Prevailing wage and your workers' comp audit
Prevailing-wage jobs raise your reported payroll. For dual-wage trades, each employee's regular hourly wage decides the code — e.g., roofing is 5552 under $33/hour and 5553 at $33/hour or more (WCIRB thresholds effective 9/1/2026; they change periodically). Keep certified payroll organized — it supports your classification at audit.
