Certified Payroll Should't Eat Your Friday

hero-Certified-Payroll
eBacon is certified payroll software built for Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage compliance — not a general payroll platform wearing a hard hat. It auto-assigns wage determinations, pre-fills the WH-347 from your payroll data, and keeps every project audit-ready, without the manual reporting hours.

Certified Reporting

The manual work involved with certified payroll reporting is complex, time-consuming, and high-risk.

Tracking Changes

Tracking changing wage determinations, managing fringe benefits, and preparing WH-347 reports across projects often leads to errors, rejected submissions, and delayed payments. One mistake can trigger audits, penalties, or compliance issues.

Automation

eBacon replaces spreadsheets and manual processes with a system designed specifically for certified payroll compliance—so you can eliminate errors and stay in control.

Certified Payroll FAQs

How can contractors reduce the time spent preparing certified payroll reports?

The manual work is what eats the time — collecting time records, verifying classifications, calculating prevailing wages, and building the report by hand. eBacon connects time tracking, payroll data, wage determinations, and reporting into a single workflow, and automates the WH-347 and numerous state-specific reporting requirements directly from that payroll data.

How does eBacon help prevent certified payroll errors before they become compliance issues?

Certified payroll accuracy starts with accurate labor tracking. eBacon captures labor hours by employee, project, and classification in real time, and connects that data directly to payroll, prevailing wage compliance, and reporting in the same system — so payroll teams spend less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time on actual payroll work.

How does eBacon handle employees who work across multiple classifications, wage rates, or projects?

Construction employees routinely work under more than one classification or project in the same pay period. eBacon tracks labor hours by classification and project, and automatically applies the correct prevailing wage requirements and pay rates. Employees select their classification when clocking in, so payroll teams get accurate digital time records without manual adjustments later.

How do automated time tracking and certified payroll work together?

Certified payroll accuracy starts with accurate labor tracking. eBacon offers multiple time tracking options that allow contractors to capture labor hours by employee, project, and classification in real time. Because time tracking, payroll, prevailing wage compliance, and reporting are connected within the same system, payroll teams spend less time reconciling data across spreadsheets and disconnected software while gaining better visibility into labor costs and compliance requirements.
