Abstract: The data collection information is necessary to comply with various statutes and regulations, see paragraph 2.C. of this supporting statement. Contracting agencies have the duty to ensure compliance by engaging in periodic audits or investigations of contracts, including examinations of payroll data. Contracting officers throughout the Government receive weekly payroll records and due to time constraints, workloads, and competing priorities may perform inconsistent reviews of the payroll information. As a result, most errors in payrolls are reported by the contractor employees to DOL investigators in the form of a complaint. GSA is seeking to proactively mandate the use of an automated solution for submitting payroll records to GSA contracting officers. GSA will use the electronic template to ensure the weekly payroll records are consistently being analyzed in detail, increase the accuracy of the review and improve the use of limited contractor and government resources. The legal and administrative requirement necessitating the data collection is outlined in the DOL OMB Information Control 1235-0008 and 1235-0018l, FAR 22.406-6, and FAR clause 52.222-8 which requires all construction contracts in excess of $2,000 and performing work in the United States to submit the weekly payroll data.
