Who do I call if tools / vehicles have been stolen from my jobsite?

The MCA is a member of the Construction Crime Prevention Consortium - you can call them to report a construction crime at 1-877-274-6399.

How do I report the hours when my laborers work in Jefferson County?

In the Laborers EStamp system, enter the hours worked by your laborers and, using the pull down menu, change the County field to "Jefferson County".

For your information, if you work in someplace other than Jefferson County or St. Louis City/County, you can use the pull down menu to change the County field to "Other".

If you hire a Local 718 Laborer for that Jefferson County job, you may have to add him to your EStamp report as a new employee to report his hours.
