Construction Payroll
& Compliance
Simplifying Payroll Tax Compliance for the Construction Industry
Construction payroll tax compliance involves the timely submission of payroll tax payments and associated forms, as mandated by law. Contractors encounter several unique challenges within the construction industry, including managing prevailing wages, union payrolls, certified payroll, and the complexities of varying pay rates.
Working across multiple geographic regions adds another layer of difficulty, as contractors must navigate diverse tax policies. “What sets construction apart is its transient nature,” explains Chris Pelfrey, Senior Director of Payroll Services at Deltek ComputerEase. “Construction companies often operate in different jurisdictions for limited periods. Whenever you cross state or city lines, you are subject to varying tax regulations.”
To effectively manage these challenges, Pelfrey recommends that contractors take two essential steps: (1) involve payroll staff during the bidding process to assess jurisdiction-specific tax requirements, and (2) equip them with the right tools, such as specialized software, to ensure efficient operations. Not all payroll software offers the necessary functionalities for contractors to fulfill their payroll obligations. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure you have the right tools in place to maintain compliance.
