Why This Is the Correct Answer

DIR's CPR FAQ states certified payroll records must be submitted at least monthly, or more often if required by the contract.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Only at final completion.

Only at final completion. misses the specific employer duty in certified payroll reporting; it does not resolve the pay, reimbursement, status, timing, or record issue.

Option B: Only when a worker complains.

Option C: Every two years with license renewal.
