Projects Compliance

For projects with enabled prevailing wage and apprenticeship tracking, there is a "Checklist" tab that provides visibility into your project's PWA compliance status. Learn how to enable prevailing wage and apprenticeship tracking in the Create a Project Section of our Projects - Web help document.


To navigate to the "Checklist" tab, start by clicking on the "Jobs" tab in the primary navigation bar at the top of the page. Then, click the "Projects" tab in the sub navigation bar near the top of the page. This will open the "Projects" page. Click on the relevant project to open its project card. Once in the project card click the "Checklist" tab from the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

See video below for a demonstration:

The compliance checklist includes a series of unique compliance checks specific to a given project. In other words, these are all of the outstanding tasks and required documentation needed to ensure the project is PWA compliant.
