The Division of Local Government Services issued Local Finance Notice 2024-18, which explains the Workplace Accountability in Labor List (The WALL) and the new electronic system for submitting certified payrolls for Prevailing Wage projects.
P.L. 2019, c. 366 authorized the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJ DOL) to create and maintain a list of any person found in violation of any state wage, benefit and tax law and had a final order issued by NJ DOL. This list is known as The WALL. A person placed on The WALL is prohibited from contracting, regardless of the dollar value, with any public body until the violations have been resolved.
If you have any questions regarding The WALL, please contact OSECInquiries@dol.nj.govOSECInquiries@dol.nj.gov or 609-376-4952.

Contractors are still required to submit certified payroll records to the public body awarding the contract.
