Services
We build from your contract's wage determination, your time records, and your payroll provider's registers, and we document every assumption so your team can defend the result.
Labor pricing built line by line from the solicitation's wage determinations, so your bid covers what the law requires.
Weekly certified payrolls prepared from source records and reconciled to your payroll provider's final register before they reach you.
Reviews that catch the problems agencies look for: wrong determination, wrong classification, missing fringe.
How we work
The same five steps on every engagement, so nothing depends on memory and every payroll can be traced back to its sources.
A written scope, then read-only access to reports from your payroll provider, such as Paycom.
We confirm the wage determination in your contract and map every worker to a classification.
Hours, rates, fringe, and deductions assembled and reconciled to the final register.
A second reviewer checks each payroll. You sign the Statement of Compliance and submit, or we submit as you authorize.
We keep work papers and payroll copies at least as long as you must keep yours, generally three years after the work is complete.
Who does what

FedGovPay USA never holds client payroll funds and never signs certifications on a client's behalf. The Statement of Compliance is signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or by its agent who pays or supervises the payment of the workers (29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)).
Cost estimator
Enter the rates from your wage determination and the GSA per diem table for the work location. The starting figures are placeholders; replace them with your own.
| Straight-time wages | — |
| Overtime wages (1½ × basic rate) | — |
| Fringe benefits (all hours, no premium) | — |
| Payroll burden on wages | — |
| Labor cost this week | — |
| Lodging (reimbursement, not wages) | — |
| M&IE (reimbursement, not wages) | — |
| Total cost this week | — |
Per diem and M&IE are expense reimbursements. They can't be credited toward the prevailing wage or fringe benefit owed, so this estimate keeps them on a separate line.
Questions
No. Your payroll service provider, for example Paycom, processes pay, deposits payroll taxes, and files tax returns. We prepare the compliance work around it: wage determination reviews, cost analyses, and the weekly certified payroll.
You do. The Statement of Compliance is signed by the contractor or subcontractor, or by its agent who pays or supervises the payment of the workers. We prepare and review the payroll; we never sign a certification on your behalf.
Usually the one incorporated into your contract, identified by number and modification, which isn't always the newest one posted on SAM.gov. When it's unclear or looks wrong, we help you get direction from the contracting or sponsoring agency.
No. Per diem, lodging, and M&IE are reimbursements, not wages or fringe benefits. We structure them under an accountable plan and show them separately in your cost analysis and records.
Your contract or subcontract with its wage determination, crew roster and classifications, time records, and read-only access to payroll reports from your provider. If fringe is paid to plans, we also need the plan documents and remittance records.
