New Jersey § 34:11-56

§ 34:11-56.

a. Every contractor and subcontractor shall keep an accurate record showing the name,

craft or trade, and actual hourly rate of wages paid to each worker employed by him

in connection with public work and such records shall be preserved for two years from date of payment.

The record shall be known as a certified payroll record and shall be open at all reasonable hours to the inspection of the public body awarding the contract,

to any other party to the lease or agreement to lease pursuant to which the public

work is done, and to the commissioner. b. (1) The department shall provide on its Internet website a secure process for the

online submission of certified payroll records and a secure process for the inspection

of those records by the public body awarding the contract, any other party to the

lease or agreement to lease pursuant to which the public work is done, and to the

commissioner. The certified payroll records that are made available by the department through a

secure process on its Internet website for inspection by the public body awarding

the contract, or any other party to the lease or agreement to lease pursuant to which

the public work is done, shall be made available in full and without redaction to

the public body awarding the contract, or any other party to the lease or agreement

to lease pursuant to which the public work is done. The department shall post the certified payroll records on its Internet website for

viewing by the public, and the department shall redact only the addresses and social

security numbers of the workers from the certified payroll records for that purpose. (2) Certified payroll records shall be submitted by a contractor or subcontractor

that is subject to this section to the public body awarding the contract or the party

to the lease or agreement to lease pursuant to which the public work is done, and

to the department through the secure process on its Internet website, each payroll

period within 10 days of the date on which the wages were paid to a worker. The contractor or subcontractor shall use the department's website to submit to

the department the records required to be maintained pursuant to subsection a. of

this section. (3) Contractors shall be required to provide certified payroll records to both the

department through online submission and to the public body awarding the contract. Online certified payroll record submission to the department does not relieve the

contractor of the requirement to submit certified payroll records to the public body

awarding the contract. The public body awarding the contract and the department shall be entitled to original,

unredacted certified payroll submissions. (4) Records submitted pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the commissioner's

powers provided by section 7 of P.L.1963, c. 150 ( C.34:11-56.31 ).
