💼 Small Jobs, Big Compliance Here's a common scenario: You win a minor repair contract on a major government project. Just because the job is small doesn't mean the compliance requirements are. Critical reminder: Even small jobs on prevailing wage projects require compliance like certified payroll reporting, worker classification, prevailing wages, and documentation. Don't let a small job create big headaches. Treat every prevailing wage project with the same attention to detail. #SmallBusiness #Construction #HR #HRTech #FinTech

Are You a Large Employer Under ACA? It's More Complex Than You Think Calculating Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees isn't just about counting heads. It's a complex calculation that can significantly impact your ACA obligations. Did you know? Part-time employees' hours must be combined and divided by 120 to determine additional FTEs. These are then added to your full-time employee count. Seasonal and temporary employees also can throw a wrench in calculations. Want more information?
