Certified payroll: common questions
What is certified payroll automation?
Certified payroll automation uses AI to read daily field reports, determine which workers require prevailing wages based on each project's funding and wage determinations, and prepare compliant WH-347 forms — removing the manual cross-referencing between daily reports, wage determinations, and payroll records.
What are the penalties for filing certified payroll incorrectly?
Under the 2025 Davis-Bacon overhaul, civil penalties run up to $13,508 per violation, on top of uncapped back wages and debarment from federal contracts for up to three years. Willful falsification of the WH-347 statement of compliance is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. §1001, punishable by fines and up to five years imprisonment. Automating the process removes the manual errors behind most findings.
How much time does certified payroll automation save?
Contractors typically spend six to eight hours a week on manual certified payroll for an active prevailing-wage job. Automating the determination and WH-347 prep cuts that to under an hour and eliminates the cross-referencing mistakes that cause most rejections.
What's the difference between certified payroll software and a done-for-you AI service?
Software still needs your team to operate it — enter the data, interpret the wage determinations, and file. kjags advisors runs it as an AI employee: it reads your daily reports, makes each determination with logged reasoning, and prepares the filings, so your team reviews and approves instead of doing the work.
Do you only handle Maryland prevailing wage?
No. We handle federal Davis-Bacon projects nationwide and state and local prevailing-wage requirements wherever you work — Maryland and DC are simply our home market. The AI adapts to the wage determinations that apply to each project.
