Certified Payroll Reports

Certified Payroll Reports take hours to compile and enter all of the information that is needed. With Zeo-Payroll, your reports are ready to go immediately after your payroll is run.

Job Costing

Job costing gives contractors a clearer picture of exactly where their jobs stand. Zeo-Payroll provides job costing that tracks labor hours, dollars, and burden (FICA, FUTA, SUTA, Workers’ Comp., etc.) as a part of our standard payroll package. For contractors who require more sophisticated reports, options are available for tracking by cost code, estimate vs. actual, percent complete, production, unit pricing, projected costs to complete, and more.

EEO Minority Compliance

This report provides the critical employee information required by the U.S. Department of Labor, including workers’ trades, classification, totals for federal and non-federal work hours, and minority percentages to meet affirmative action regulations.

Union Reporting and Tracking

Zeo-Payroll has built-in union setup and reporting. Correct wages always default in for union jobs (even when a contract expires in the middle of a pay period).
