Dear Contractor,

This is a friendly reminder that certified payrolls are due biannually to SURGE on July 1st and December 31st of each year. These are the reporting periods:

July 1st, 2025: December 1st-June 30th

December 31st, 2025: July 1st-November 30th

Important things to keep in mind when submitting payrolls:

• You can submit more frequently than the biannual deadlines (weekly, monthly, etc.).
• If you are submitting final payrolls, be sure to label them as such on the submission.
• If you have non-performance weeks, be sure to submit a Statement of Non-Performance form.
• Make sure you are using the DIR A-1-131 payroll reporting form or another similar reporting form with the required information.
• Ensure that any subcontractors on your project have also submitted their certified payrolls. The prime will be contracted regarding any non-compliant subcontractors.
• If you have added or removed any subcontractors from your project, make sure to update your project registration to keep your records up-to-date in our system.

If you have any questions, please visit the SURGE website and view our FAQ page to see if your question has already been answered.
