Manage people & payroll across job sites

The best construction payroll software handles four things:
1. prevailing wage and certified payroll compliance under the Davis-Bacon Act
2. multi-state tax calculation
3. GPS-verified job-site time tracking
4. labor cost tracking by job

Fingercheck is an all-in-one construction payroll platform that does all four — generating Form WH-347 certified payroll, applying prevailing wage at the worker and job-site level, and preventing buddy punching with geofenced mobile punch-in.

Construction crews working across state lines need payroll that calculates different state taxes, unemployment rates, and withholdings within the same pay cycle. Without it, multi-state work creates manual reconciliation and year-end tax surprises.

We run multi-state payroll across all 50 states with same-pay-cycle tax calculation, so office admins can pay mobile crews in any state and keep withholdings and filings accurate.

Certified payroll is a weekly report required on federally funded construction projects worth more than $2,000, proving every worker was paid the prevailing wage mandated by the Davis-Bacon Act. Each report lists every worker’s name, trade classification, hours, pay rate, fringe benefits, and deductions, with a signed statement of compliance.

We generate certified payroll as compliant Form WH-347 and NYC Certified Payroll Report PDFs, pre-filled directly from your payroll data, so the report matches the hours your crews actually worked, with no manual re-entry.

Time theft comes from buddy punching, early departures, and inflated hours — and it adds up. The American Payroll Association estimates time theft costs employers 1.5–5% of gross payroll.

We prevent time theft with GPS-verified mobile punch-in, geofencing that restricts worker clock-ins to a specific job site, and photo verification that confirms the right employee is clocking in, so you don’t have to pay for hours that weren’t worked.

Accurate job costing means tracking employee hours and wages against specific project or location budgets. This gives owners and finance leaders real-time visibility into labor cost before payroll runs, instead of discovering overruns after the fact.

We enable real-time labor cost tracking by allocating GPS-verified time entries to the correct job codes, so you can see labor cost by job, catch overtime creep, and protect profitability.

Construction companies need digital onboarding for fast hiring, workers’ compensation management, and benefits administration.

We combine payroll with digital onboarding, pay-as-you-go workers’ comp, 401(k) integrations, and credential tracking — helping businesses save 10+ hours/month on payroll and HR admin.

No. They’re related but distinct.

Prevailing wage is the wage standard: the base hourly rate plus fringe benefits a contractor must pay each trade on a covered project, set by the U.S. Department of Labor by classification and location.

Certified payroll is the weekly compliance report that documents you actually paid it.

We handle both; you can configure prevailing wage at the worker and job-site level, so the correct rate auto-applies when a worker clocks in, feeding straight into certified payroll reports.

If a worker’s license or certification lapses, they’re not cleared to be on site—so you have to pull them off the job until it’s renewed. If you manually track renewals in a spreadsheet, it’s only a matter of time before you miss one, leaving your crew working un-credentialed or digging for documents the morning of an audit.

Our credential management tracks OSHA cards, trade licenses, and equipment certifications in one place. Workers upload from their phone, HR verifies, and automated expiration alerts go out before anything lapses. Credential management is available on Fingercheck 360+.
