The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), provides the State Departments of Transportation and Federal Lands Agencies with $27.5 billion for highway infrastructure investment.
With this money there also comes an increased level of reporting, which we will be adding to Certified Payroll Solution to better and more fully serve the needs of our customers who may be working on these types of construction projects.

The White House has postponed until June 30 the deadline for compliance with the E-Verify rule that will apply to government contractors and subcontractors. The decision gives the Obama administration more time to review the rule, which would require government contractors and subs to use an electronic system to check whether their employees are eligible to work in the U.S. The system has been modified to increase the accuracy of employment verification, according to testimony of the acting deputy director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services.

Construction includes the alteration and/or repair, including painting, decorating, plumbing, electrical, etc., of public buildings or public works – including roads and bridges.

Hundreds of thousands of construction workers hired to work on economic-stimulus projects will receive prevailing wages under new federal guidelines. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will prepare the guidelines, which will expand the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act and establish a floor for wages paid for the more than 678,000 construction jobs created by 2010.
