The Compliant Client system from eMars helps contractors ensure payroll compliance.
In-depth federal government audits. Large fines. Jail time. Going out of business. A non-compliant payroll is a serious problem with strong negative effects. Out-of-compliance payroll checks can’t be ignored away. No kidding. No joke.
The Davis-Bacon Act, passed by Congress in 1931, requires private contractors to pay prevailing wages to employees on all government-funded construction projects worth more than $2,000. Stiff fines and jail time can result if payroll checks are not in compliance with this act. There are 30 compliance regulations that must be adhered to for every check.

By Alan Dorich, Senior Editor at Knighthouse Publishing
