Payroll

Construction payroll from the hours your crews logged

Approved timesheets become timecards, and payroll is computed from them with union, prevailing wage, and job rates. Checks, direct deposit, positive pay, and certified payroll come out of the same register.

Timesheets to paychecks

Every step from timecard to check, in one system

Hours are not re-typed between steps. Timesheets feed timecards, timecards feed the register, and posting sends labor to job cost and the general ledger.

  1. 1

    Timecards from approved timesheets

    Generate a timecard batch for the pay period from approved timesheets, or enter timecards by hand for salaried and office staff. Each hour keeps its job, cost code, work order, or equipment, and overtime is split by the rules for the state where the work was done.

    • Timecard batches by period, with pending, computed, and posted status
    • Salaried employees added to the batch automatically
    • Daily and weekly overtime by work state
    • Sync timecards when an employee rate changes
    Timecard batches by period end date with timecards, employees, computed or posted status, and checks info
  2. 2

    Union and prevailing wage rates applied for you

    Union rates are set by craft code and level with start and end dates, so a rate change takes effect on the right week. Each rate points to a pay, benefit, or deduction code and is calculated by rate or percentage on the hours worked.

    • Union pay, benefit, and deduction rates by craft and level
    • Past, active, and future rate intervals
    • Prevailing wage rates by craft code in the job rate table
    • Union report by craft, employee, or job

    Compute, review the register, and post

    Compute the batch to get gross pay, taxes, deductions, benefits, and employer costs for every employee. Review the payroll register, adjust taxes or entries if needed, and post. Posting sends labor and burden to job cost and the general ledger.

    • Federal, state, and local taxes, including multi-state and reciprocal agreements
    • Union fringes, health, pension, 401(k), and other deductions on every check
    • Workers comp and general liability by class, costed to the job
    • Void a posted payroll with a void period, and replicate it if needed

    Checks, direct deposit, and positive pay

    Print checks on blank stock with your logo, bank information, and signature, or fill in pre-printed checks. Upload a sample check and the print settings are detected for you. Direct deposit can split pay across accounts, and a positive pay file goes to your bank.

    • Payroll checks printed on blank stock or your bank pre-printed checks, with MICR and signature
    • Direct deposit split by amount or percent, with a paper check for the rest
    • Positive pay files in bank formats, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo
    • Pre-notes and NACHA files for direct deposit
