How a $73K Penalty Exposed Every Gap in Certified Payroll
$73KPenalty Avoided
14hrsMonday Payroll (Before)
8hrsMonday Payroll (After)
The Problem
Their office manager ran certified payroll flawlessly for 11 years. Then one county quietly updated its prevailing wage rate mid-project. She missed it. The Department of Labor issued a $73,000 penalty that nearly shuttered the business.
What Went Wrong
Prevailing wage rates can change at the county level without broad announcement. Tracking these manually across multiple active projects is a full-time job in itself.
The ProForge Solution
After implementing ProForge, the system automatically monitors prevailing wage rate changes across every county where the contractor operates.
Results
The office manager went from 14-hour Mondays to normal working hours. Every rate change that she used to track manually is now caught automatically.
