Why DIR Registration Matters for Janitorial Companies

This registration ensures your business complies with California Labor Code Section 1420, helping protect workers’ rights and promote fair, ethical labor practices within the cleaning industry.

What Is DIR Registration?

The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) oversees labor laws, workplace safety, and employment standards in California. All janitorial service providers must register with the DIR under the Property Service Workers Protection Act (SB 588) before performing any janitorial work or bidding on contracts.

This includes:

• Commercial and residential cleaning companies
• Window cleaning and floor maintenance services
• Any business hiring janitorial staff or subcontractors

Why DIR Registration Is Important

Legal Compliance:
Operating without DIR registration can result in fines, penalties, and disqualification from public and private contracts.
Worker Protection:
The law ensures all janitorial employees receive safe working conditions, fair wages, and sexual harassment prevention training, creating a safer and more ethical workplace.
Business Credibility:
Builds trust with clients, property managers, and government agencies. It shows that your company is professional, responsible, and compliant with California regulations.
Access to More Contracts:
Many companies, schools, and government agencies require proof of DIR registration before awarding cleaning contracts. Being registered opens the door to larger and more stable business opportunities.
