Managed reporting service
Managed Certified Payroll Support for Specialty Contractors
Certified payroll is not ordinary payroll with one extra form. The reporting workflow can require project-specific wage information, worker classifications, daily or weekly hours, fringe records, deductions, net-pay reconciliation, supporting documentation and recurring corrections.
PrevailingShield gives specialty contractors a repeatable process for that work while your team keeps control of payroll, certification and submission.

The service, line by line
What the service includes
Project setup
Before the first live week, we establish the project identifiers, reporting requirements, wage determination or schedule, classifications, submission instructions, signatory workflow and secure record-transfer process.
Weekly preparation
We normalize the records needed for the reporting period and prepare the certified-payroll package using the agreed project workflow.
Quality-control review
We check for exceptions such as missing workers, hour mismatches, classification/rate inconsistencies, overtime questions, incomplete benefit records, deductions/net-pay mismatches or unresolved prior-week items.
Exception coordination
When the source data needs clarification or correction, we return a clear exception list rather than silently guessing.
Review-ready package
We produce a versioned package for the contractor's authorized representative to review, certify/sign and submit.
Ongoing status tracking
Open corrections and unresolved evidence remain visible until the required action or supporting evidence is received.
Inputs, established at setup
What we need from your team
At setup, the exact list is project-specific. Typical inputs can include:
- Project / contract details
- Wage determination or schedule
- Classification information
- Submission instructions
- Authorized signatory details
- Payroll register
- Worker hours / classifications
- Deduction / net-pay data
- Benefits or apprentice records
- Payment evidence
- Prior correction history
Do not send sensitive payroll through the public contact form. Secure transfer is established after readiness and project setup.
Who this works best for
Built for the office that already does everything else.
PrevailingShield is built for specialty subcontractors that already know how to run payroll but do not want the weekly certified-payroll reporting burden living permanently with an owner, controller, payroll manager or office administrator.

Certified payroll, by trade
Classification questions look different depending on the scope. See how the service applies to your trade.
See whether your current project is ready for weekly support.
A short readiness review confirms your project stage, the governing reporting requirements and the secure-transfer setup — before any payroll records move.
No sensitive employee or payroll information is needed in the public review.
