Moving Between Prevailing Wage and Non-Prevailing Wage Work ?? This week's challenge: Your crew is splitting time between a government project and private work. Sound familiar? Tracking these transitions is crucial. Each hour needs to be properly categorized and paid at the correct rate. The stakes are high - mixing up these hours can lead to underpayment violations or overpayment costs. Remember: Clear documentation of when and where work happens is your best defense during an audit. #Construction #HR #HRTech #GreenEnergy #Finance

Why Wait for an IRS Letter to Start ACA Tracking? The IRS is getting smarter about identifying potential ALEs based on W-2 filings. They're looking at your employee count, even if you think you're not large enough for ACA requirements. Having lots of part-time employees can trigger IRS scrutiny, even if you're confident you're not an ALE. Without proper documentation, proving your status becomes a stressful scramble. The cost of setting up ACA tracking now is tiny compared to the chaos of responding to an IRS inquiry without data. Your W-2 count might raise flags, but proper measurement period tracking can definitively prove your status. Think of it as compliance insurance. When the IRS comes asking questions, you'll have clear, accurate answers ready to go. Smart employers don't wait for the IRS to start the conversation. They track their status proactively and sleep better at night. #HR #HRTech #ASO #PEO #Finance

"But Excel Works Fine..." We've all heard it. Here's your response: "Excel might work today. But what happens when you win that bigger contract? When you expand to new states? When regulations change?" Don't argue against Excel. Instead, help them see their future needs. Growth-minded contractors choose automation not for today, but for tomorrow. #SalesStrategy #HRSales #HRTech #Payroll #Construction
