Here's what contractors need to know that most payroll companies don't understand:
Union payroll and certified payroll aren't the same thing. When they overlap on public works projects, contractors get buried in compliance chaos.
UNION PAYROLL
• Union wage scales apply
• Benefit remittances to multiple funds
• Reports to union stewards
• Works on public or private jobs
CERTIFIED PAYROLL
• Weekly WH-347 compliance
• Prevailing wage calculations
• Government agency reporting
• Union or non-union workers file
My Construction Payroll is the only full-service vendor that owns the entire process:
→ Correct classifications from day one
→ WH-347 auto-generated weekly
→ Union remittances before stewards ask
→ Fringe + OT rules built in
→ Year-end reconciliation handled
No software to manage. No extra work on your end. No mixing them up and risking fines.
