  Tips and Tricks

  I've included within the downloadable package some tips and tricks to make California public works payroll even easier for you. The easy-to-understand instructions explain:
  
  
  • How to customize the forms to your company to even further reduce, by more than half, the amount of time you spend filling in payroll reports (and reduce the chance for typos).
  
  
  • How to report payroll for employees who work under multiple classifications on a project.
  
  
  • How to even further reduce time spent when reporting your California public works payroll on multi-week jobs.
  
  

  Employees Working Under Multiple Classifications

  These Excel and PDF forms and the in-depth instructions make entering, tracking, and reporting multiple-classification employees very easy and simple!
  
  The instructions will walk you through step-by-step how to enter multiple-classification employees on the A-1-131 form. And anytime you might have questions, I'm here to help. :o)
  
  

  Keep Your Payments Coming

  Even though the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) requires contractors to submit their payroll information at the DIR website, DC's/GC's (Direct Contractors aka General Contractors) are still requiring Subs to submit this form to the DC/GC as part of their paperwork requirements.
  
  These forms are invaluable to Direct Contractors because they contain so much of the information that a Direct Contractor needs from a Subcontractor.
  
  Oftentimes, if a Subcontractor submits an invoice to his Direct Contractor for a public works project without providing this payroll form, the Direct Contractor will withhold payment on the Subcontractor's invoice until the Sub submits the A-1-131.
  
  They are so easy to fill in (especially with me in your corner), and they so simplify your week-to-week and project-to-project reporting requirements, that there's really no reason to not provide the form to GC's/DC's that are requiring it.
  
  It's a win-win. DC's/GC's find these forms to be the easiest way to keep track of each of their Subcontractor's payroll information, and the form helps tremendously with your in-house payroll duties.
  
  

  Vital For Your Records

  You know how the IRS wants you to keep a mileage log if you're going to deduct mileage, and if you don't keep that log you can end up not not getting the deduction?
  
  Same goes for your public works payroll. One of my customers, a purchaser of this A-1-131 form, told me about a contractor who was fined over $80,000 by the state of California because he didn't have a paper trail of his payroll. Even though he'd been submitting it online, the powers that be wanted to see in-house records and this contractor didn't have that.
  
  This form can serve as those records/that paper trail.
  
  

  Why using this form is still the easiest and least expensive way to manage your payroll

  There are no special, expensive software programs required.
  
  This A-1-131 Public Works Payroll Reporting Form comes in both PDF and Excel format (they work with the free Adobe Reader and Microsoft Excel) and can be used on both Windows and Macintosh computers.
  
  They work just like any other document you use on your computer.
  
  The forms are set up so that you click into any field you wish, type in your information, hit the TAB key to move to the field, fill it in, hit the TAB key, etc.
  
  You don't have to spend money and time paying for and learning some costly new system when you've got this form available to you.
  
  
  • Saves you money: there's no special, expensive software program needed to use them.
  
  
  • Saves you time: you'll be able to easily save and edit your information, eliminating the need to recreate the entire form for every change and/or every usage.
  
  
  • Keeps you organized: when using the A-1-131 form in-house you'll have all the information you need right there in one spot - on the form - you won't have to look for it week in and week out.
  
  

  Use the filled-in, revised payroll form to quickly complete the online payroll system

  As mentioned contractors are still finding these hard-copy A-1-131 California Public Works Payroll Reporting form helpful to their business.
  
  Say you've got a project that you're on for several weeks. You're looking at whole new payroll submissions to the DIR website every week.
  
  The DIR upload system doesn't save editable copies of the A-1-131 so you have to type in every bit of information all over again, every single week.
  
  Because the forms here are editable you can make changes very easily before giving your customer a revised copy or a submission for a new week.
  
  And then you can use that same revised A-1-131 form to help you get the info entered at the DIR.
  
  By having the revised one sitting in front of you (or the one from last week but with the current week's info entered) while you're re-entering all of that information at the DIR website everything you need is right there on that one document that was neatly printed on the printer.
  
  Now there's no worries about illegible writing *and* you don't have to run around trying to put all of the information together for submission. The majority of the information you need is already right there on this form.
  
  Having this form in front of you when completing your payroll online means you'll have it done faster than you ever thought possible.
  
  

  Got mad Excel skills? Then you can probably do even more with these forms!

  Feel free to manipulate these worksheets however you'd like; there's no password required. If you know how to make XML documents you could probably make the Excel version here work in such a manner that it *does* export in an XML format that *can* be directly uploaded to the DIR website.
  
  

  After You've Completed Your Purchase

  Your receipt page, and the instant receipt/confirmation email that you'll receive, each have download buttons.
  
  When you click either of those download buttons the zipped form package will download to your computer and automatically unzip itself, presenting you with the forms and instructions that you'll be able to use immediately.
