Payroll outsourcing for construction companies
Construction payroll covers site workers, supervisors and office staff, and many site workers are on daily or hourly rates with significant overtime. Workmen earning within the Employment Act threshold are covered by hours and overtime rules, and many firms also manage foreign worker levies and accommodation deductions. A provider used to office payroll will not cope well. The right one calculates site hours, tracks overtime limits and allocates labour cost to each project.
In short: Construction companies usually need daily or hourly rated pay with overtime calculated from site attendance records and monitoring of monthly overtime hours against the statutory limit from a payroll outsourcing provider. Check the questions below before you choose, or describe your need and get one to five free introductions.
What construction companies need from payroll outsourcing
- Daily or hourly rated pay with overtime calculated from site attendance records
- Monitoring of monthly overtime hours against the statutory limit
- Labour cost allocation by project for job costing
- Handling of authorised deductions such as accommodation, with proper documentation
- Tracking of foreign worker levy liability alongside payroll
- Itemised payslips that show hours, rates and deductions clearly
Questions to ask a provider
- How do you collect site attendance data and calculate overtime from it?
- Will you alert us when a worker approaches the monthly overtime limit?
- Can you split labour cost across multiple projects in the same month?
- How do you document deductions so they meet employment rules?
Pitfalls to avoid
- Unauthorised or undocumented deductions from workers' pay can breach employment rules
- Exceeding overtime limits without an exemption is a compliance risk
- Labour cost booked to the wrong project hides overruns until the job is complete
