Prevailing wage in plain English.
Prevailing wage payroll that gets it right after you find the rate.
Different jobs, rates, and classifications in the same week. Certified payroll generated straight from your payroll data, in the format your GC, owner, or state requires.
This isn't regular payroll.
One employee can work different jobs, rates, and classifications in the same week. That creates payroll, reporting, and compliance work that standard payroll systems often struggle with. The goal is simple: every employee paid correctly and every required report done right.
Every report your GC, your owner, or your state requires.
Your certified payroll is generated directly from payroll data. No rebuilding it by hand and no re-entering information that already exists.
Paper or PDF
WH-347 (Davis-Bacon), NYC Comptroller, DASNY, Port Authority.
Portals and electronic
NYS DOL Article 8 portal, NJ certified payroll portal, LCP Tracker, LCMS, eMars, DIR eCPR (California), Elations, and more.
Every week, automatically
Reports for every certified job land in your archive each week, page 2 included, even on zero hour weeks.
Stuck retyping payroll into the NYS DOL portal?
Article 8 jobs now report payroll electronically through the NY Department of Labor portal, primes and subs, union and open shop. The portal doesn't save employee details, so every worker on every job gets keyed in from scratch every week. We turn your weekly payroll data into the file format the portal accepts, so you upload it instead of typing it.
No scrambling when the audit hits.
- Workers' comp audit reports, organized and ready when you need them.
- Wrap-up reporting (OCIP, CCIP, ESIP) by job and classification.
- Clear records that cut the back and forth with GCs, carriers, and auditors.
Six things prevailing wage payroll has to get right.
Full service prevailing wage payroll
Rates tracked by job and classification, with direct deposit, tax filing, and check calculations.
Fringe done right
Fringe benefit tracking and reporting, handled correctly on every payroll.
Certified payroll reporting
When your job requires it, we create WH-347 and state certified payroll forms, including zero hour weeks, on paper or electronic, including LCP Tracker and state portals.
Automated job costing
Labor and burden broken out by job and by week, so you know your true cost per job.
Fringe kept separate
Fringe stays separate from the base rate, so overtime is not paid on the fringe.
Audit ready reports
If you are audited, we pull your payroll and fringe reports, plus certified payroll where required.
When fringe is wrong, everything is wrong.
Big payroll companies often get fringe wrong. When fringe is wrong, your payroll and your reports are wrong. We get it right on every payroll.
Before the first payroll goes out.
- Find the wage determination in your contract and confirm it's the one that applies.
- Classify every worker by the work they actually do, not their job title.
- Decide how you'll meet fringe in cash, into bona fide plans, or a mix.
- Set up certified payroll so it's ready for the first week of work.
- Check apprentice status and ratios before anyone shows up on site as an apprentice.
- Keep the records you'd want in hand if someone asks.
