Certified Payroll Application

Client:
Construction Industry

The Challenge:
Working on publicly funded construction projects with government agencies requires submitting certified payroll reports for all contractors and sub-contractors. These forms are manually gathered from multiple sources and compiled a report that monitors contract and labor compliance. However, this process can be labor intensive and cumbersome therefore resulting in a high margin of error. The payment to subcontractors and contractors could become a serious issue if these certified payrolls are not correct.

The Solution:
TRS developed a web-based Certified Payroll System that automates the certified payroll data collection and reporting process. The system can also be used to customize reports, such as tracking cost efficiency.

The Benefits:
Now the industry can efficiently monitor labor compliance of a construction contract. This system reduces costs by eliminating manual integration of payroll data from multiple sources, at the same time making the data more accurate and immediate. The project manager can review this data and take appropriate actions.

Contractors also benefit because they can monitor whether all appropriate documents have been submitted. This not only helps contractors monitor their own documents but allows prime contractors to organize sub contractor documents. As a result, payment to contractors is expedited.
