Labor Compliance Consulting in California

Audit-Ready Workforce Compliance for Public Works & Energy Projects

Projects are approved, funded, and closed out when workforce compliance can be demonstrated — not when payroll is submitted.

Submitting certified payroll is reporting.
Compliance is documentation that must withstand review.

Reviewers do not ask whether payroll was submitted.
They ask whether compliance can be demonstrated across all contractors and tiers.

Veracity Compliance identifies workforce compliance exposure before it becomes payment delay, funding risk, or tax-credit jeopardy.

WHEN CLIENTS CONTACT US

Most teams contact Veracity Compliance when documentation is requested and the project must demonstrate workforce compliance immediately.

Projects that involve Veracity at the beginning typically avoid these situations.

Teams usually reach out when:

Certified payroll has been rejected or flagged
A DIR, agency, or Davis-Bacon review has begun
Apprenticeship participation or ratios cannot be verified
A withholding or investigation notice has been issued
Required subcontractor documentation is missing
Funding, retention, or closeout is delayed
IRA tax-credit verification is at risk
Payroll was submitted but compliance was never verified

When workforce compliance cannot be demonstrated on demand, the issue is no longer administrative — it becomes project risk affecting payment, funding eligibility, and final acceptance.

WHO ACTUALLY CARRIES THE RISK

When workforce compliance cannot be demonstrated, the problem does not remain with the subcontractor.

On most projects, responsibility extends upstream to:

Prime Contractor
Construction Manager
Developer / Owner

Payment, funding eligibility, and project closeout depend on the ability to support compliance documentation across all tiers.

Workforce compliance is not a reporting obligation.
It is a project approval condition.

Projects move forward when compliance can be demonstrated — not when responsibility is assigned.

A SITUATION WE SEE OFTEN

Construction is progressing.
Payroll is being submitted weekly.

Then a reviewer asks:

“Can you demonstrate workforce compliance across every contractor and tier today?”

Most projects cannot.

Payroll exists.
Defensible documentation does not.

At that moment, the issue becomes project risk.

• Payment delays
• Retention holds
• Funding review
• Tax-credit risk

Projects rarely fail because work was not performed.
Projects fail because compliance cannot be defended when reviewed.

What We Do

Workforce Compliance Risk Mitigation

Veracity Compliance does not function as a payroll processor or administrative monitor.

We function as a verification layer for the project.

We determine whether workforce compliance documentation can withstand agency, lender, or audit review before a review occurs.

We build defensible compliance documentation during construction — not after a finding.

Before Construction — Pre-Bid & Project Setup

We structure compliance before payroll begins.

Contract and funding requirement review
Wage determination and classification analysis
Participation requirement planning (DBE/WBE/MBE)
Establish compliance procedures and documentation standards

During Construction — Active Verification

We monitor compliance while the work is happening.

Weekly certified payroll review
Classification and wage verification
Fringe documentation substantiation
Multi-tier subcontractor tracking
Apprenticeship ratio monitoring and program verification
Correction workflows before findings
IRA tax-credit labor documentation readiness

Closeout & Audit Readiness

We prepare the project for review before review occurs.

Compliance file verification
Funding documentation readines
Agency response support
Final acceptance preparation

We build defensible documentation while the project is active — not after it is questioned.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE VERACITY

Projects do not encounter compliance problems because payroll was missing.

Projects encounter problems because exposure was not identified early.

Clients rely on Veracity Compliance to identify workforce compliance exposure before it affects payment, funding eligibility, or project acceptance.

We:

Identify risk early
Prevent payment disruption
Maintain audit-defensible documentation
Support agency and lender review
Coordinate contractors and payroll teams

When documentation is requested, the project can support it immediately.

About Veracity Compliance

Veracity Compliance provides workforce compliance risk mitigation for projects subject to prevailing wage, certified payroll, apprenticeship, and related labor requirements.

We help project teams demonstrate compliance at any time — to agencies, auditors, lenders, and funding authorities — before issues become findings, payment holds, tax-credit problems, or closeout delays.

We support public works, federal Davis-Bacon, and renewable energy projects subject to Inflation Reduction Act workforce requirements.

Veracity Compliance is a small business, minority woman-owned firm.

Keep Your Project Payable, Eligible, and Defensible

If your project is subject to prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, apprenticeship, or incentive labor standards, do not wait until an agency review or payment hold forces corrective action.

Put compliance controls in place before risk affects the project.
