Payroll & Workforce Management for Construction Businesses

The workforce challenges construction businesses face

Construction payroll rarely fits a tidy 9-to-5. You're tracking multi-trade crews across several active job sites, weather days, travel and per-diem, prevailing-wage work, and a mix of W-2 employees and 1099 subs. Get the hours or the wage rate wrong and it shows up in a thin margin — or a Department of Labor letter.

Time tracking that ties to the job

On a job site the question is never just "how many hours" — it's which job, which cost code, and which trade. GPS-verified mobile clock-ins capture all three at the gate, stop buddy-punching, and feed hours straight into job costing instead of a clipboard that rides home in a truck.

Payroll, prevailing wage, and certified reports

Construction payroll has to juggle standard rates, prevailing/Davis-Bacon wages with fringe, overtime, per-diem, and subs — sometimes across state lines on a single project. Your system should apply the right rate to the right hour, support certified-payroll reporting, and produce payroll-ready data you can hand straight to your payroll provider.

Job costing and labor margin

Tie every hour to a job and cost code so you can see labor cost by phase in real time, catch overruns before the project closes, and bid the next one from actuals. Real-time labor visibility is the difference between a profitable job and a surprise at closeout.

Staying compliant

Prevailing-wage rules, certified-payroll deadlines, workers'-comp classes by trade, and state wage-and-hour law all carry real penalties. Keep records audit-ready and let the software apply federal and state overtime so a paperwork slip doesn't become a stop-work order.
