Checklist of Labor Law Requirements
Ultimately the prime contractor is liable for their sub and specialty contractors. This checklist is a
useful tool for the prime contractor to ensure that their sub and specialty contractors know their
responsibilities on public works projects. Contractors who understand and comply with the law
(CCR Title 8, Section 16421)
are more likely to deliver the job on time, on budget and done right the first time. We suggest the
prime contractor encourage completion of this checklist by their sub and specialty contractors.
