The Unique Challenges Facing
Certified Payroll Teams
Government contractors face a web of federal, state, and local requirements that generic payroll software wasn't built to handle. One mistake can mean fines, audits, or debarment.
WH-347 Reporting Requirements
Federal contractors must submit a completed WH-347 certified payroll report weekly, including fringe benefit details on Page 2. Manual completion is time-consuming and error-prone.
Davis-Bacon Act Compliance
The Davis-Bacon Act requires contractors and subcontractors on federal projects to pay prevailing wages. Misclassification or underpayment can trigger audits, fines, and debarment.
Prevailing Wage Calculations
Prevailing wage rates vary by trade, county, and project type. Calculating the correct cash wage vs. fringe credit breakdown, and keeping it current, requires specialized tooling.
Multi-Jurisdiction Complexity
Projects spanning multiple states or counties each carry their own wage determinations. Managing compliance across jurisdictions manually doesn't scale.
Subcontractor Monitoring
Prime contractors are responsible for subcontractor compliance. Collecting, reviewing, and storing certified payroll reports from subs is a major administrative burden.
Audit Trail & Records Retention
Federal regulations require payroll records to be kept for at least three years. Certified payroll teams need a system that maintains a complete, auditable history without manual filing.
How It Works
WagePath plugs directly into your UKG Ready instance. No rip-and-replace, no workflow changes. Just automated certified payroll compliance built on top of the system you already use.
Connect to UKG Ready

Sync Employee & Benefits

Calculate Prevailing Wage
WagePath calculates the precise prevailing wage obligation for each worker on each project, applying the correct wage determination and fringe credit breakdown.
