Certified payroll, prevailing wage, and jobsite staffing.
The reality
What hiring actually looks like in construction.
Certified payroll and prevailing wage requirements apply on public and government-funded projects, and getting them wrong doesn't just risk a fine — it can hold up payment on the whole project.
Jobsites are short-handed on a schedule no office job runs on: a trade is needed tomorrow, not after a two-week hiring cycle.
Multi-employer worksites and shifting project timelines mean the same worker might need to be classified and reported differently from one job to the next.
