WAGE THEFT AND PAYROLL FRAUD DISCLOSURE
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
years. Unless they receive a waiver from the City's Fair Wage Employment Board,
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
requirement and the waiver process are set forth in Chapter 190 of the Codified
Ordinances of Cleveland, Ohio, 1976 ("Chapter 190").
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pursuant to Chapter 190, the information requested on this document must be provided
by any person or entity bidding on or making a proposal for a Construction or
Improvement Contract or a Service Contract, or applying for Assistance, and any of their
prospective subcontractors.
Any person or entity that is deemed to have made a false statement shall be declared to
have acted in default of its contract and shall be subject to the remedies for default
contained in its contract.

question has committed Wage Theft or Payroll Fraud and is further defined in Chapter
190.
"Assistance" means any form of City financial assistance, except for financial assistance
provided for the development, rehabilitation or other means of providing residential
housing. Assistance includes but is not limited to: grants; economic development loans;
tax credits, incentives and abatements; subsidies; and bonds. Assistance does not include
financial assistance which is received from another government or other entity with the
City acting only as a conduit or fiscal agent for the funds, where the City exercises no
control over the identity of any recipient or of the terms of the contract. Community
Development Block Grant Funds are not considered conduit funds and, to the extent they
otherwise qualify, are included as Assistance.
"Construction or Improvement Contract" means any contract entered into pursuant to
Chapter 167 or Chapter 185 of the Codified Ordinances.
"Payroll Fraud" means concealing an entity's true payroll tax liability or other financial
liability to a government agency from government licensing, regulatory or taxing
agencies through misclassification of employees, failure to report or underreported

payment of wages, or executing a cash transaction while failing to maintain proper
records of reporting and withholding.
"Service Contract" means any contract or subcontract between a person, business or
corporation and the City of Cleveland that primarily involves the furnishing of services to
the City (as opposed to the purchase of goods or other property or the leasing of
property), and shall be limited to the following categories of services: food service,
janitorial, security services, parking lot attendants, home health care, health care aides,
waste management, automotive repair services, landscaping, towing contracts, building
