Why construction payroll trips most generalist providers.
- EBAs vary by employer and by site — one rate sheet doesn't cover everyone.
- Allowances (site, travel, fares, meal) need to flow through to project cost, not just to the pay slip.
- Working time directives, RDOs, and rolling rosters complicate accruals.
- Subbie/labour-hire mixed workforces need clear separation in the GL and the project ledger.
