Determinations to filing
California prevailing-wage compliance, automated
Pay the right rate, track the right ratios, file the right reports — from one payroll run.
Wage determinations
The right rate and fringe, by classification
Classify each worker and apply the correct California prevailing-wage rate and fringe from the DIR determination for the craft and county. The rate, fringe split, and base/fringe math run as you pay — so the certified report reflects the determination, not a guess.
- ✓Rate + fringe by craft and county
- ✓Base vs. fringe handled correctly
- ✓CA overtime built in
Apprentices
Apprentice-to-journeyman ratio tracking
Public works require apprentices at the right ratio. Bullwork tracks apprentice and journeyman hours by classification so you can see your ratio compliance before the labor compliance officer does.
- ✓Apprentice vs. journeyman hours
- ✓Ratio visibility by trade
- ✓Fewer compliance surprises
Filing
DIR eCPR + WH-347, generated and filed
The prevailing-wage payroll you run produces the federal WH-347 and the California DIR eCPR XML automatically — upload the eCPR instead of re-keying it. Certified payroll stops being a weekend job.
- ✓DIR eCPR XML, upload-ready
- ✓WH-347 with statement of compliance
- ✓Per-project, per-week
One ledger
Compliant labor that ties to the books
Prevailing-wage labor is some of your biggest cost. Here the same hours feed job costing and the general ledger, so your prevailing-wage cost on a public job is live and accurate — not reconstructed at month-end.
- ✓Labor posts to job costs + GL
- ✓Live prevailing-wage cost by job
- ✓No reconciliation between systems
Why it matters
On a California public job, the wage rules are unforgiving.
Underpay a classification, miss a fringe, or file the eCPR late and you’re exposed to back wages, penalties, and debarment. Software that knows California prevailing wage — rates, fringes, apprentice ratios, CA overtime — and files the certified reports for you turns a compliance minefield into a payroll run. Pair it with certified payroll software on the same platform.
Questions
California prevailing wage software, answered
What is California prevailing wage software?＋
It’s software that applies California’s prevailing-wage determinations — the required hourly rate and fringe for each craft and county on public works — to your payroll, tracks apprentice ratios and CA overtime, and produces the certified payroll reports (WH-347 and DIR eCPR) the state requires. The goal is to pay correctly and file correctly without doing the compliance math by hand.
Does it handle the DIR eCPR filing?＋
Yes. Bullwork generates the DIR electronic certified payroll report (eCPR) in the XML format California requires, so you upload it rather than re-entering each line. It also produces the federal WH-347.
How does it handle fringe benefits and apprentice ratios?＋
Each classification carries its prevailing-wage rate and fringe, and the platform splits base versus fringe correctly. It tracks apprentice and journeyman hours so you can monitor your apprentice-to-journeyman ratio on every public job.
Is it just for public works, or all my jobs?＋
It’s built so prevailing-wage public works and your private jobs run on the same platform. Public-works jobs get the determinations, certified reports, and ratio tracking; private jobs run standard payroll — all on one native ledger with job costing.
Do I need a separate certified payroll service?＋
No. Prevailing wage, certified payroll, job costing, and your general ledger are one system, so the hours you pay are the hours on the WH-347, the eCPR, and the books.
