Back Wage Restitution, Minus the Spreadsheet Marathon
Back wage restitution is how contractors pay workers what they were shorted on a prevailing wage job and correct the certified payroll for those weeks. eBacon calculates what each worker is owed, processes the payment as a payroll run, and generates corrected certified payroll reports, so fixing an underpayment doesn't mean rebuilding weeks of payroll by hand.
Payroll mistakes happen. Fixing them shouldn't take longer than making them did.
How does eBacon catch hours entered under the wrong job?
eBacon flags hours that look like they landed on the wrong job and moves them to the correct job code, recalculating wages and fringe for both jobs automatically. If someone forgot to record hours, or a foreman punched the crew into last week's project, the correction happens in the system instead of on a legal pad.
eBacon flags the discrepancy. A payroll admin reviews it before anything is finalized. Automation does the heavy lifting, and a human still signs off.
How does eBacon calculate what each worker is owed?
eBacon calculates the exact correction for each worker in real time, the moment you identify the underpayment. No spreadsheet, no formula someone built three payroll managers ago.
It works for one worker or fifty. eBacon processes restitution for multiple employees and multiple classifications at once, and you can correct by job or by individual, depending on how the error happened.
What is eBacon?
eBacon is the only construction-focused platform featuring certified payroll with a money-saving fringe trust. All-in-one software with scheduling, GPS-enabled time tracking, safety system, and inventory management for contractors with 15 to 500 employees.
Does eBacon fix the certified payroll reports too?
Yes. eBacon generates corrected certified payroll reports, including the WH-347, for every week the restitution touches, straight from the restitution run. The corrected report and the back wage check come from the same numbers, so they match. No retyping last month's WH-347 with a calculator in one hand. See every report eBacon produces on the Reporting Page.
What records does eBacon keep after a correction?
eBacon updates your payroll records with the corrected data and keeps a complete trail of what changed, when, and why. When a contracting agency, general contractor, or auditor asks how an underpayment was handled, you pull the record instead of reconstructing the story from memory and email.
