r <br />With or without advance notification to the Prime Contractor, CHS will <br />conduct jobsite field interviews of laborers, mechanics and apprentices for <br />each project to verify the accuracy of wages being paid. Such on-site field <br />inspections and random employee interviews are performed detect non- <br />compliance. <br />While on site, CHS staff will note whether or not the applicable wage <br />determination and Federal Employee Notices that were provided by CMS at <br />the pre -construction meeting are posted and accessible to the laborers. <br />Safety is the paramount factor for any site visit. Interviewers will exercise <br />reasonable caution at all times. All authorized personnel visiting any <br />construction site will be required to be properly identified as a <br />representative of our team by wearing visible picture ID (badges) and <br />identify themselves as such upon arrival at the site. Additionally, all <br />authorized personnel are required to wear hard hats and safety shoes. <br />Utilizing approved Federal HUD 11 Interview forms, random tradespersons <br />will be questioned to determine whether they are paid from another <br />source, threatened, intimidated or coerced into giving up any part of their <br />pay, and/or if they are working in excess of eight hours per day or forty <br />hours per week. All site visits are conducted on a non-interference basis <br />and will take a minimum amount of the worker's time for interview <br />purposes. Copies of interview records are kept in each project file, <br />recorded on the Site Visitation Log and provided, as part of the Labor <br />Standards compliance file at the end of each project for audit purposes. <br />For projects that require Section 3 monitoring, laborers, mechanics and <br />apprentices shall also be queried as to their new hire status/applicability. <br />15 <br />
