Construction payroll involves complex regulatory requirements that vary by project type, funding source, and location. From Davis-Bacon Act compliance to prevailing wage calculations, contractors must navigate multiple federal and state regulations simultaneously across different job sites.
Standard payroll platforms weren't built for this complexity. They lack the specialized compliance features construction businesses need, forcing you to handle regulatory requirements manually or through time-consuming workarounds. This approach creates significant risk exposure.
Non-compliance consequences can devastate your bottom line: back pay awards, costly penalties, legal expenses, and potential disqualification from government contracts. These risks multiply when managing projects across multiple jurisdictions.
Construction-focused payroll solutions eliminate this burden by embedding compliance directly into your workflows. They automatically calculate prevailing wages, generate mandatory government reports, track union contributions, and maintain audit-ready documentation, giving you confidence that regulatory requirements are handled correctly every time.
