Why does the Commissioner of Labor and Industry require employers to submit payroll records and other data?
The Commissioner of Labor and Industry requires that employers submit payroll records and other data as part of the enforcement process. Upon receipt of this information, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry will review the records and data to ensure that the appropriate Living Wage rate has been paid. Enforcement through review of payroll records has been demonstrated as a proven enforcement method in the Prevailing Wage program. In addition, some studies of other jurisdictions’ Living Wage programs have recommended payroll submission as the most effective enforcement tool. The timely submission and review of payroll records will help to ensure that employees receive their proper wages.
