If you are awarded an Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPF) project they will be requiring you to submit online certified payrolls in the very near future. Otherwise filing online is optional. The transfer will be gradual. The Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) will still accept hardcopy certified payrolls. DOLWD will eventually require it. Check with your local DOLWD regional office or the Labor home page for further updates.

You are the prime contractor only if you have received a contract from the State of Alaska or a subsidiary of the State.

You are a Subcontractor if you are contracted by another contractor to do a portion of the work. Both the Prime and the Subcontractors are required by law to submit certified payrolls.

A Notice of Work is the document that is filed with the DOLWD upon notice of award of a public works project from the contracting agency. Go to http://labor.alaska.gov/lss/forms/notice-of-work.pdf to download a copy of the form. Once the NOW is filed and the filing fee is paid as required by AS 36.05.045, DOLWD will issue a temporary NOW to the contractor who can then notify the contracting agency that they are in compliance, and thus allows the contractors to begin work on their project. The DOLWD has up to10 business days (not including weekends/holidays) to process your Notice of Work and assign DOL # to the project from the date of receipt.

The Notice of Completion is the document that is filed with DOLWD upon completion of the project. Go to http://labor.alaska.gov/lss/forms/not-comp-pub-wrks.pdf to download a copy of the form. This is where the prime contractor would note any change orders that occurred over the life of the public works project. Once the NOC is filed, and DOLWD approves it, the contractor can submit the finalized approved NOC to the contracting agency for final payment of their contract. The Department has 30 days to process your Notice of Completion.

This is the number given to the prime contractor from the agency that issues the contract for public construction.

This is a number assigned to a project, by the online certified payroll program, after the prime contractor notified DOLWD.
