All labor contractors are required to submit to the Bureau of Labor and Industries a certified true copy of all payroll records for work done as a labor contractor when the contractor pays employees directly.
Labor contractors may submit certified true copies of payroll records in person, by regular mail or via email.
Reporting requirements
- Certified payroll reports are due no later than 35 days after starting work on each contract and at each successive 35 day interval thereafter. This must include whatever payrolls the contractor has paid out at the time of the report.
- If the contract lasts more than 70 days, succeeding wage certification reports are due at 35 day intervals (e.g., 35, 70, 105, and 140 days) from the time work begins on the contract, and they must include whatever payrolls the contractor has paid out during the period of each report.
- The wages paid to the officers of the corporation may be omitted from the Form WH-141 and any other records submitted under this rule.
Note: Contractors who have recruited, solicited or supplied workers from the state of Oregon who are employed on construction contracts located outside the State of Oregon must also comply with the provisions of this rule.
If submitting by mail, the certified true copy of payroll records must be submitted to:
Bureau of Labor and Industries
Wage and Hour Division, Labor Contracting Unit
3865 Wolverine Street, NE, Bldg. E-1
Salem, OR 97305
