THE CHALLENGE
Federal, state, and local rates. Hundreds of classifications. Multi-tier subcontractors you can’t see. Auditors who find the one mistake you missed.
Different rates for every trade, every county, every project. Federal WDs change, state minimums shift, and one outdated rate on one submission means one failed audit.
You’re responsible for every subcontractor’s compliance — but you can’t see their classifications, fringe rates, or apprentice ratios until the certified payroll hits your inbox.
DOL, state DIRs, and project owners all want reports in their own format. Can you produce a complete, defensible audit package in under an hour when they ask?
THE PLATFORM
WHY SKILLSMART
Davis-Bacon, Service Contract Act, and every state prevailing wage law handled by one configurable platform. No modules, no add-ons, no separate logins.
Federal WDs, state rates, and county adjustments updated automatically — you never work off a stale rate, and neither do your subcontractors.
See every tier of every project — not just your primes. Your subs’ subs, too. Full visibility into who’s submitting, who’s validated, who’s behind.
Apprentice-to-journeyman tracking isn’t a separate module. Ratios monitored by classification, violations flagged before submission, IRA-ready reporting included.
Every customer gets a dedicated specialist who reviews your setup, trains your team, and supports you through audits — not a ticket queue.
Export every payroll record, every classification, every audit trail anytime. SOC 2 Type II certified. No vendor lock-in, no held-hostage data.

Every customer gets a dedicated compliance specialist who reviews your setup, trains your team, and supports you through audits. Competitors default to help docs.
“Overall, our experience has been Amazing! The platform has provided a strong foundation for managing Davis-Bacon compliance, and it has helped streamline the tracking and reporting of certified payroll in a more structured and transparent way. Having a centralized system has significantly improved our ability to maintain consistency across subcontractors and ensure documentation is properly captured. Having a compliance platform in place has given us confidence in maintaining audit readiness, particularly on USACE projects.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Answers to the questions GCs, trade contractors, and public agencies ask most about prevailing wage compliance — and how SkillSmart handles each one.
A prevailing wage compliance tool is software that tracks wage determinations, worker classifications, fringe benefits, and apprentice ratios on projects subject to Davis-Bacon, state prevailing wage, or IRA requirements. SkillSmart automates wage determination management, classification validation, multi-tier subcontractor tracking, and audit documentation — replacing spreadsheet-based compliance workflows with one configurable platform.
Prevailing wage compliance is required for any contractor or subcontractor working on federally-funded construction (Davis-Bacon Act), federal service contracts (Service Contract Act), projects receiving IIJA infrastructure funding, state or municipal projects subject to state prevailing wage laws, and clean energy projects claiming ITC or PTC tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
Yes. SkillSmart imports and maintains federal Davis-Bacon wage determinations, state prevailing wage rates, and county-level adjustments automatically. When rates change, the updates push to the platform without customer intervention. Historical rates are preserved for audit lookback so you can always defend a past submission.
Yes. SkillSmart supports Davis-Bacon, the Service Contract Act, all 50 state prevailing wage laws (including California DIR, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Illinois), and IRA/IIJA requirements from one configurable platform. Multi-jurisdictional projects — where federal, state, and local rules all apply — are handled automatically.
SkillSmart covers Davis-Bacon plus all 50 state prevailing wage laws, includes apprenticeship ratio tracking and IRA compliance in the same system, and assigns a dedicated compliance specialist to every customer. LCPtracker focuses primarily on federal Davis-Bacon and requires separate modules (and separate contracts) for state rules and apprenticeship. See the full comparison →
