Celery adds an automated audit layer to your certified payroll software, checking prevailing wage, fringe, and multi-rate labor before payroll goes out.
One wrong rate on a public job means back wages, penalties, and debarment risk. Celery checks every rate against the wage determination.
Certified payroll reporting
WH-347 and state-equivalent errors get flagged before submission, not after an auditor finds them.
Multi-rate & job costing
Workers split across jobs, classifications, and rates, Celery catches mis-allocated labor and blended-rate overtime.
