// common questions

What to know before you start

Does PrevailComply replace my payroll software?

No. Keep using your existing payroll system for paychecks and tax calculations. PrevailComply handles the compliance-specific step after payroll: prevailing wage rates, fringe calculations, apprentice checks, and certified payroll reports.

What do I enter each week?

Set up the job and crew once. Each week, enter the hours, deductions, and benefit contributions for the employees who worked on that project. PrevailComply uses those figures to prepare the report.

Which reports can PrevailComply create?

PrevailComply creates the federal WH-347 and supported state-specific exports. For California DIR eCPR, it generates a compatible XML file in one click. You download and submit that file separately—PrevailComply does not e-file it for you.
