You’re busy.

Perhaps even a bit overwhelmed.

You’ve got trees to trim, halls to deck with boughs of holly, and when you throw in (the office, your kids’ school, and the bowling league’s) holiday parties, you’re at the point where you’ve got visions of sugar plums (although it may vary) dancing through your head.

Well, the DIR has come to give you its own yuletide greeting.

Think of it as a Christmas card of sorts.

Merry Christmas.

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) announced today that a mandatory renewal deadline is approaching for contractors who bid or work on public works projects in California. Contractors whose public works contractor registration expired June 30, 2015, and have ongoing public works projects or plan to bid on new ones, must pay the $300 renewal fee before January 1, 2016 or face an additional
$2,000 late penalty after that date.
