labor compliance services

   Saving money on your bottom line and on your labor cost can be the difference between winning or losing on a competitive bid. Winning bids grow your business, loosing bids may mean laying off employees. 

JUNO Solutions can help contractors strategize on how to save thousands of dollars in taxes, and therefore labor cost, making them more competitive. We help analyze current practices and recommend implementing changes to maximize fringe benefit dollars and reduce tax liability. By doing so, contractors not only enhance employee benefits, but also save thousands of dollars. 

Understanding bid requirements comprehensively is key to knowing which public work wage determination must be utilized and applied. JUNO Solutions assists contractors with knowing which Wage Determination Coverage is applicable to their bid. In addition, we calculate fully burdened labor cost so contractors are not surprised with “hidden” wage determinations payments, fringe benefit, and other compliance cost requirements.  It is important to understand where these costs are, to effectively manage the project budget profitably. 

 Our team will monitor the compliance of contractors and subcontractors working on public works projects.  Our team can review weekly Certified Payroll Reports as well as supplemental labor compliance documentation, such as required Contract Notification of Award forms, fringe benefit calculations and wage rate verification. We work to ensure all workers are paid the required prevailing wage rates, that training fund contributions are made, and regulations are being followed. We help contractors implement best practices in record keeping, filing, and payroll processes.  

  General Contractors have the additional burden to not only self-monitor and audit themselves, but they also carry the liability and responsibility to ensure subcontractor compliance.  JUNO Solutions Labor Compliance Team is equipped to assist in monitoring subcontract compliance with education and auditing subcontractor’s process and documentation. 

Compliance with apprenticeship requirements is a huge part of working on Public Works contracts. JUNO Solutions can guide contractors through the regulations and connect them to State and Federally approved Apprenticeship Programs to meet compliance needs. 

Skilled and trained legislation is complex. Ensuring compliance can be extremely difficult. JUNO Solutions has experience implementing, and enforcing skilled and trained workforce programs, and we can help avoid any difficulties on projects. Contractors at all tiers are required to have a  percentage of journeymen be graduates of state/federal approved apprenticeship programs. It is imperative to closely monitor compliance in the workforce on projects, to avoid heavy penalties. 

Certified Payroll Reporting is a complex arena of Public Work Contracts. The regulations are unforgiving; one cent off can cost thousands of dollars in penalties and for large projects, can run contractor’s out of business. JUNO Solutions offer consulting, training and support for payroll processes and certified payroll reporting. We provide staff training, develop and implement state and federal Davis-Bacon best practices, designed to reduce the risks associated with complex, certified payroll reporting requirements. 

  It is not a matter of IF a contractor gets audited, it’s a matter of WHEN. Audits on public works contracts will happen. Whether it is a CA State, DLSE audit or a federal DOL audit, contractors will want an advisor specializing in Public Works Compliance to help them navigate the best response and defense. Contractors do not have to feel alone in this overwhelming situation.
