 eBacon and National Lien Services Partner to Strengthen Construction Payroll Compliance and Payment Protection for Contractors Nationwide 

 Construction professionals gain a more complete compliance picture as certified payroll software and lien rights management unite in a referral partnership designed to reduce financial risk across the project lifecycle.

PHOENIX, AZ, May, 2026 — eBacon, a leading construction payroll software and certified payroll compliance platform, today announced a referral partnership with National Lien Services LLC, a nationwide expert in preliminary notices, mechanic’s liens, bond claims, and waiver management. The partnership gives construction payroll managers and their companies access to two complementary layers of financial protection: accurate, compliant payroll processing on the workforce side, and payment rights preservation on the project revenue side. This closes a gap that has long left contractors exposed.

For specialty contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers working on public and private construction projects, compliance obligations do not end with certified payroll reporting. Getting workers paid correctly is only half the equation — getting the company paid at all requires a separate, equally rigorous set of statutory payment protections. When those two systems operate in isolation, contractors are left with blind spots that can result in costly write-offs, strained relationships, and preventable financial loss.

“Construction contractors carry an enormous compliance burden, and the stakes only get higher on prevailing wage projects,” said Gary Zimmermann, Director of Strategic Partnerships at eBacon. “Partnering with National Lien Services means our clients have access to the expertise they need to protect themselves on both ends — the workforce compliance side that we handle, and the payment protection side that National Lien Services handles with precision. Together, we give contractors a more complete risk management framework for addressing the financial risks that come with this industry.”

The eBacon and National Lien Services partnership addresses this challenge by connecting two specialized platforms that work naturally in tandem. Key benefits for construction payroll managers and their organizations include:

• Disciplined payroll documentation that supports stronger project administration — eBacon’s prevailing wage compliance tools ensure every hour, rate, and fringe benefit is documented correctly on certified payroll reports. That operational discipline and compliance readiness creates a stronger foundation for overall project administration, keeping contractors better organized and prepared across both workforce compliance and payment processes.
• Waiver management that aligns with payroll cycles — National Lien Services’ waiver management expertise helps contractors and subcontractors avoid inadvertently compromising payment rights at the wrong time or on incorrect terms. Paired with eBacon’s certified payroll reporting cycles, teams gain a synchronized view of what has been paid, documented, and protected.
• Preliminary notices and bond claims that protect the labor investment — eBacon tracks every hour worked and every dollar owed on prevailing wage and construction payroll projects. National Lien Services’ preliminary notice and bond claim services help preserve recovery options when payment disputes arise — protecting the financial work already done in payroll.
• Reduced write-offs through proactive compliance processes — With more than a decade of construction lien expertise and over $37 billion in protected payments, National Lien Services helps contractors establish best-practice-driven internal processes that minimize accounts receivable write-offs. Combined with eBacon’s workforce management compliance tools, contractors can reduce financial risk from both the workforce cost side and the project revenue side.
   

“Our clients work hard to earn every dollar on every project, and our role is to help make sure the payment protections available to them are properly established and preserved,” said Amy Houk, President of National Lien Services. “eBacon’s certified payroll and workforce compliance platform is a natural complement to what we do. Strong documentation and disciplined compliance practices upstream create healthier downstream payment protection processes, and we’re excited to bring that combined value to contractors nationwide.”
