Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry announced, along with 13 other state attorneys general, that the group has sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor urging to it to require contractors to report more payroll information about workers.

The letter, which was sent March 29, states misuse of the current reporting system happens when people concoct “complex schemes” to misappropriate fringe benefit funds or take unlawful deductions to reduce workers’ pay.

The existing forms do not require comprehensive information to be provided regarding pay, deductions and benefits — which makes it easier for employers to break fair labor laws without detection.

More detailed forms would enable state enforcers and investigative agencies to better identify violations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, which are in place to protect workers from unfair labor practices like wage theft and fraud.
