Stay compliant on every job site, in every state

The best time tracking software for construction is one built specifically for contractors. It should support field-friendly time capture, prevailing wage and union requirements, overtime and break compliance, and direct payroll integration. Miter is purpose-built for construction, helping contractors track time accurately across jobsites while reducing manual payroll and compliance work.

Construction compliance software helps contractors manage the rules, regulations, and documentation that govern how they hire, pay, and manage their workforce. This includes payroll compliance (prevailing wage, certified payroll, union reporting), labor law compliance (overtime, break rules), workforce compliance (I-9, ACA, background checks), and OSHA compliance (incident reporting, inspection records, safety training). The best platforms connect all of these requirements to payroll, time tracking, and HR in a single system so nothing falls through the cracks.

The best construction compliance software is built specifically for contractors, not adapted from a generic HR or payroll platform. It should handle prevailing wage, certified payroll, union reporting, multi-state labor laws, and OSHA documentation in one place. Miter is purpose-built for construction, connecting payroll compliance, workforce compliance, labor regulations, and OSHA compliance directly to jobs, crews, and hours worked — so contractors stay compliant without maintaining multiple systems.

OSHA requires most construction employers to maintain an injury and illness log (OSHA 300), complete an incident report (OSHA 301) for each recordable case, and post an annual summary (OSHA 300A) from February through April. Contractors must also document safety training, keep records of hazard inspections, and retain all records for five years. Miter generates OSHA 300, 301, and 300A forms from incidents and hours already tracked in the platform.

Certified payroll is a weekly payroll report required on federally and state-funded public works projects. It confirms that workers were paid the prevailing wage rates set by the Davis-Bacon Act (federal) or equivalent state laws. Contractors working on government projects must submit certified payroll to the contracting agency each pay period. Miter automates certified payroll generation and connects directly with LCPtracker, eMars, eComply, and other compliance reporting platforms.

Miter supports payroll and labor law compliance across all 50 states, automatically applying the correct overtime rules, break requirements, and tax obligations based on where employees work. For contractors running projects across state lines, this reduces the risk of applying the wrong rules and helps keep payroll accurate without manual intervention.

Yes. Miter supports union contractors with automated wage and fringe calculation, reciprocity rules, and union reporting. Trades, union locals, pay rates, and fringe benefits are configured once, and Miter calculates the correct wages and contributions every pay cycle. Reports are generated automatically, reducing the manual work of managing multi-trade union payroll.

Construction compliance software reduces audit risk by maintaining accurate, time-stamped records for payroll, labor hours, certified payroll reports, OSHA incident logs, and workforce documentation. Miter keeps audit-ready records for every pay period, job, and employee, so contractors can respond to audits, wage claims, or government reviews without compiling data from multiple systems.
