Davis-Bacon Act Compliance: Using Technology to Manage the Complexity of Davis-Bacon and State and Local Counterparts
Maintaining compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA) and state and local counterparts can be a time-consuming and difficult task for agencies and contractors working on federal or state-funded projects.
The complexities and administrative burdens arise when organizations are responsible for not only keeping accurate payroll records but also ensuring subcontractors comply with prevailing wage rates. Thankfully, for labor compliance professionals, technology has simplified and streamlined these processes, and the B2Gnow eComply prevailing wage labor compliance solution is a powerful tool designed to help agencies and contractors ensure full compliance with Davis-Bacon and related labor regulations.
Why Use Technology for Davis-Bacon Compliance?
The Davis-Bacon Act mandates that contractors pay workers no less than the prevailing wage for the type of work they perform, and this includes detailed record-keeping and reporting obligations. Managing these Davis-Bacon and state and local counterparts requirements via paper, Excel gymnastics, or other inefficient systems can result in errors, delays, compliance or even worse – debarment risks.
