Summary:

Administration and enforcement of the Davis-Bacon Act minimum wage provisions were investigated at a building conversion project at the Naval Communications Station, Stockton, California, located in the Department of Labor's Region IX.

The Resident-Officer-In-Charge of Construction (ROICC) had charge of the contract for conversion of a warehouse to a commissary. Deficiencies in labor standards were found in the areas of certified payroll compliance checks, apprentice certifications, lack of employee interviews, and training of contract personnel. The certified payrolls were not submitted in a timely fashion, and there were several underpayments. Some employees received unusual payroll deductions; others were misclassified and underpaid. Neither the construction representative nor the procurement clerk of the ROICC had received adequate training.
