    Prevailing Wage Guard

    Example session with this skill installed

    Check this payroll register against WD General Decision Number NY20240007 Mod 2. I have one worker listed as 'Laborer' at $35.00/hr total. Does this comply for a federal DBRA project?

    I have audited the payroll register against General Decision Number NY20240007 Modification 2. The audit identifies a significant fringe benefit shortfall and a misclassification risk that requires correction before submission.

    Audit Findings: NY20240007 Mod 2

    Worker IDClassificationReported RateRequired BaseRequired FringeShortfall (per hr)Severity
    J. DOELaborer (Common)$35.00$41.25$28.50$34.75REJECT
    R. SMITHCarpenter$52.00$56.00$31.00$35.00REJECT

    Critical Defect Details

    Underpaid Base Rate: For the Laborer classification, the WD requires a basic hourly rate of $41.25. The total paid ($35.00) is below the minimum base before fringes are even considered.
    *

    Fringe Benefit Omission: The payroll register does not itemize fringe contributions. If $35.00 is the total cash paid, you are short $34.75 per hour ($6.25 on base + $28.50 on fringe).
    *

    Statement of Compliance (WH-348): Box 4(a) vs 4(b) cannot be verified. If paying all fringes in cash, 4(b) must be checked, but the cash rate must meet the total of base + fringe ($69.75).

    Restitution Summary

    • J. DOE: 40 Hours @ $34.75 = $1,390.00
    • Total Restitution Owed: $1,390.00 (Current Week)

    Next steps

    1. Update the payroll to reflect the correct WD Basic Hourly Rate of $41.25.
    2. Calculate and pay the fringe benefit shortfall ($28.50/hr) either into a bona fide plan or as cash in lieu of fringes.
    3. Issue a corrected payroll and a one-time restitution payment for the difference before signing the WH-348.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Certified payroll compliance is a high-stakes manual audit process where arithmetic errors or misread wage determinations lead to withheld progress payments, restitution, and legal penalties. A single apprentice ratio violation or un-annualized fringe benefit credit can trigger an audit that halts cash flow for months.

    What it does

    • Audits WH-347 and state-specific payrolls against exact Wage Determination (WD) decision numbers and modifications.
    • Validates base rates, fringe benefit credits, and CWHSSA overtime computations across site-of-work hours.
    • Checks daily apprentice-to-journeyworker ratios and step percentages against program registration documents.
    • Reconciles project gross, total gross, deductions, and net pay to identify arithmetic discrepancies.
    • Computes specific restitution amounts owed per worker for straight-time and overtime shortfalls.

    Frameworks & tools

    Davis-Bacon Act (DBRA), CWHSSA, IRA/IIJA Prevailing Wage & Apprenticeship (PWA), California DIR eCPR, LCPtracker, and WH-347/348 standards.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General LLMs struggle with the precise arithmetic of fringe benefit annualization and the specific nuances of "base vs. fringe" overtime rules. This skill uses deterministic scripts to ensure calculations are correct while applying structured regulatory logic that general prompting misses, such as identifying the higher-governing rule when federal and state jurisdictions overlap.

    Use cases

    • Pre-submission audit of weekly WH-347 filings to prevent agency rejection.
    • Calculating back-wage restitution after identifying a classification error.
    • Verifying IRA tax credit compliance for clean energy projects.
    • Reviewing subcontractor payroll uploads for prime contractor risk management.

    Known limitations

    Does not fetch live wage determinations or current state rates; requires the user to provide the locked-in WD text. Cannot detect falsified records or off-the-books payments.
