To help you better understand the reasoning behind the State of California Payroll Report Form we have made some modifications. We call this new version the "CalLCP Form". We have color coded certain areas for easy reference in this tutorial and have added a new cell titled "Total Contributions". (See Blowup Below.) You may find it easier to print a modified form out and use it when viewing the following tutorial pages. (Print Form)

Principles:

(A) "Deductions" are always related to ALL projects for the workweek.

(B) "Contributions" (fringes) are always related to THIS project.

Note about ALTERNATIVE FORMATS.

§1776 (c) states: The certified payroll records shall be on forms provided by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or shall contain the same information as the forms provided by the division.  The payroll records may consist of printouts of payroll data that are maintained as computer records, if the printouts contain the same information as the forms provided by the division and the printouts are verified in the manner specified in subdivision (a). 

If you choose to report in a different format this may be acceptable provided that your format includes the required 34 items.
