SUMMARY:
Bidders on certain City contracts, recipients of Assistance, and any of their prospective
subcontractors must disclose any wage theft or payroll fraud violations over the last three

violators are placed on the City's Adverse Determination List, which prevents them from
entering into new contracts with or receiving Assistance from the City. This disclosure

payment of wages, or executing a cash transaction while failing to maintain proper
records of reporting and withholding.
