STRONGSVILLE, OH / ACCESS Newswire / April 6, 2026 / Payroll4Construction, a construction payroll service and part of the Foundation Software product portfolio, has published a certified payroll content series designed to help contractors meet prevailing wage requirements with confidence.
Certified payroll is a legal requirement on most federally funded projects via the Davis-Bacon Act. It documents whether the contractor is paying their employees the prevailing wage – the minimum pay rate mandated by the federal government for workers on federally funded construction contracts.
Mistakes carry real consequences, including audits, payment holds and contract penalties. Subcontractors face additional risk when requirements aren’t clearly communicated down the chain, making it critical that everyone on a prevailing wage job understands their obligations from the start.
To help contractors and subcontractors navigate these challenges, Payroll4Construction developed this series as a straightforward guide to certified payroll – covering what it requires, where it applies and how to stay compliant throughout the life of a project.
The series covers certified payroll from start to finish:
What certified payroll requires and when it applies
How certified payroll differs from standard payroll processes
How to maintain compliance and avoid common mistakes
The specific obligations subcontractors carry on prevailing wage jobs
Whether managing payroll in-house or working with a service provider, the series provides a practical basis for stronger, more consistent processes on every prevailing wage job.
