Certified payroll software.Labor compliance.Handled end to end.

Certified payroll is a weekly payroll submission used on covered public works to report each worker, classification, hours, wages, deductions, and fringe benefits. On federal and federally assisted construction, contractors and subcontractors submit payroll information weekly and include a signed Statement of Compliance. Form WH-347 is the U.S. Department of Labor's optional form for that submission.

The WH-347 form itself is optional. On covered federal and federally assisted construction, the weekly payroll information is required, and each submission must include a signed Statement of Compliance using the required wording. A contracting agency may accept WH-347, an equivalent form, or an approved electronic submission method, so the contract and agency instructions still control the delivery format.

For covered Davis-Bacon work, contractors and subcontractors submit payroll information every week. The prime contractor is responsible for transmitting the certified payrolls for its own workforce and its subcontractors as directed by the contracting or funding agency. State, local, owner, and project rules can set different portals, forms, deadlines, no-work reporting, or correction procedures, so Buildalytic tracks the requirement by employer, project, and payroll week.

The consequence depends on the governing law and contract. On covered Davis-Bacon work, the government may withhold contract payments to satisfy unpaid wage liabilities. Violations can also lead to back-wage obligations, contract termination, resulting costs, and, in qualifying cases, debarment from future federal or federally assisted contracts for three years. State, local, and owner requirements may add separate payment, penalty, or closeout consequences.

Yes. On a Davis-Bacon covered prime contract, every subcontract of every tier is covered, and the U.S. Department of Labor states that the prime contractor is ultimately responsible for subcontractor compliance with the required labor standards clauses. That is why Buildalytic monitors the complete employer-by-week record, not only the prime contractor's own payroll.

For Davis-Bacon covered work, prevailing wage is the applicable basic hourly rate plus the listed fringe benefits for the classification and work performed. The obligation may be met with cash wages, qualifying employer-provided bona fide fringe benefits, or a permitted combination. The correct analysis also depends on covered hours, overtime, classification, the wage determination incorporated into the contract, and the evidence supporting any claimed fringe credit.

No. Certified payroll is the entry point, but Buildalytic supports the complete weekly labor-compliance operation. It configures project requirements, collects payroll and supporting records, audits every worker and week, tracks apprenticeship and workforce obligations, manages corrections and restitution, and prepares filing-ready packets for the required destination.

Both. AI assists with document classification, data extraction, worker and record matching, exception summaries, and repetitive follow-up. A versioned deterministic engine applies the configured wage, fringe, overtime, deduction, apprentice, workforce, and project rules and produces reproducible calculations. Source evidence stays attached, insufficient support is flagged, and authorized people retain approval over notices, restitution, certification, and submission.

No. Your payroll and ERP remain the source of payroll and project data, and a contractually required destination such as LCPtracker or DIR eCPR remains the filing destination. Buildalytic is the collection, audit, correction, and evidence layer between them, reducing manual review and preparing clean destination-ready records.

The deterministic review can check the configured Davis-Bacon, state, local, or project requirement; worker classification; base rate; fringe and cash in lieu; straight time and overtime; deductions; payroll arithmetic; apprentice registration, ratio, and wage step; workforce hours; Section 3 support; missing records; and filing requirements. Every released finding identifies the affected worker and week, calculation, evidence, and governing source.

Each project receives a versioned rulebook containing its location, construction type, relevant contract or bid dates, funding sources, governing authorities, incorporated wage decisions and modifications, and project-specific requirements. The deterministic engine evaluates the worker, classification, payroll period, and project against that validated rulebook rather than applying one current rate everywhere. An authorized reviewer confirms the rulebook before release.

Buildalytic is designed for public-works compliance across the United States, but it does not treat every jurisdiction as identical. Each project is configured from the controlling contract, funding, wage determination, forms, filing destination, and workforce requirements. Federal, state, local, and owner rules can operate together, so the governing sources, effective dates, precedence, and approval boundaries are validated before production use.

Buildalytic can organize and cross-check Fringe Benefit Statements, Employee Authorizations for Deductions (EADs), apprentice registrations and dispatch records, DAS-140 and DAS-142 documents, HUD Section 3 worker certifications, Skilled and Trained Workforce records, local-hire evidence, corrected payrolls, restitution forms, and payment proof. The exact checklist is configured from the project requirements.

Buildalytic connects apprentice registrations, dispatches, trade and program status, wage steps, hours, and ratio evidence to the workers reported on payroll. The configured review can flag unverified registration, an incorrect wage step, or a ratio issue for human review. It can also organize worker certifications and labor hours used for Section 3, targeted-worker, local-hire, Skilled and Trained Workforce, and other project benchmarks.

Buildalytic compares the configured fringe obligation with reported cash in lieu and supported employer contributions. It can reconcile fringe statements, plan periods, hourly equivalents, eligible workers, and payroll amounts, then surface a shortage or unsupported credit with the calculation and source attached. Because creditability can depend on the plan and governing rule, uncertain items remain review decisions rather than automatic approvals.

Buildalytic compares reported deductions with payroll arithmetic and the deduction evidence required by the configured project rules. Employee Authorizations for Deductions and other supporting records can be matched to the worker and payroll period. Missing, inconsistent, or unsupported items are routed for review with the source documents attached; the system does not invent authorization or treat every deduction as automatically permissible.

A confirmed finding shows the affected worker, payroll week, rule, source, and calculated shortage. Buildalytic can draft the subcontractor correction request for approval and track the corrected CPR, restitution form, back-wage check or other payment proof, employee acknowledgment when required, and final closure. Authorized people retain control over communication, certification, and payment.

Yes. For covered HUD work, Buildalytic can connect worker certifications to payroll labor hours and organize the project record used to monitor total labor hours, Section 3 worker hours, and Targeted Section 3 worker hours. This keeps qualification evidence, worker hours, subcontractor records, and owner reporting support together instead of rebuilding the count at billing or closeout.

Yes. Buildalytic maintains an expected employer-by-week ledger, records received, missing, late, no-work, rejected, and corrected states, and supports scheduled reminders and escalation. The result is a current list of exactly which employer owes which week instead of another spreadsheet assembled by hand.

The strongest initial fit is a public-works general contractor, self-performing prime, or specialty contractor processing certified payroll every week across multiple projects, subcontractors, trades, or jurisdictions. It is especially valuable when compliance staff manually compare payrolls with wage determinations and supporting forms or re-enter records into required portals.

No. AI accelerates intake, matching, explanation, and follow-up; it does not replace the authorized person responsible for a certification, payment, legal interpretation, or filing. Deterministic controls make repeatable checks reproducible, source evidence stays visible, and release gates keep notices, restitution, certification, and submission under human approval. Buildalytic supports the workflow and record; it does not provide legal advice.

You own your data. Customer records are scoped to the organization and protected with role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, and controlled service access. Customer documents and payroll records are not exposed to other contractors. Export, retention, and deletion requirements are defined with the customer.

Start with one active project. Buildalytic configures the governing rules, apprenticeship and workforce obligations, expected subcontractors and weeks, required labor records, and filing destination. We then run a representative payroll cycle through collection, reconciliation, review, exception resolution, and packet delivery with your approval boundaries in place.
