Keep payroll. Add the certified payroll layer.
eBacon is a broader construction payroll, time, HR, fringe, and reporting platform. If you want that full payroll stack, it may be the right conversation. If you already run payroll somewhere else and only need prevailing wage checks, WH-347, state forms, and certified payroll records, PrevailComply is the focused alternative.
eBacon publicly emphasizes time and attendance, payroll, HR, fringe benefits, certified reporting, and accounting integrations in one construction platform.
PrevailComply is for small subs that already use QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, an accountant, or spreadsheets and need certified payroll handled correctly on top.
That is the real decision. eBacon is positioned as a broader construction payroll platform. PrevailComply is intentionally narrower: prevailing wage and certified payroll reports for small subcontractors.
| Need | eBacon | PrevailComply |
|---|---|---|
| Run payroll and time tracking | Strong fit | Not the focus |
| Keep existing payroll system | May not be the goal | Built for this |
| Certified payroll reports | Core feature | Core feature |
| Prevailing wage rate and fringe checks | Part of broader payroll workflow | Focused workflow |
| Small subcontractor with 5-20 workers | Could fit if replacing payroll | Primary use case |
| State-first forms without payroll replacement | Depends on setup | Product direction |
If QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, or your accountant already handles payroll, a compliance layer may be less disruptive than adopting a new payroll platform.
The real problem might not be payroll. It may be the wage determination, worker classification, fringe calculation, WH-347, and state form.
A 7-person subcontractor often needs a guided report workflow more than a full HR and time platform rollout.
If you want a broad construction payroll and HR platform, eBacon may be a good fit to evaluate. If you want to keep your current payroll system and add certified payroll reporting, PrevailComply is the more focused workflow.
No. PrevailComply is not trying to replace time tracking. It imports payroll or hours data and turns it into compliant certified payroll records.
Yes. Fringe benefit and cash-in-lieu calculations are central to the product direction because that is where many prevailing wage mistakes start.
