Does Auris integrate with LCPtracker?
Yes. Auris supports public works contractors using LCPtracker through a verified certified payroll export integration. Auris calculates prevailing wage rates, craft classifications, project hours, and fringe benefits within your recurring pay run, then generates an LCPtracker-formatted State Certified Payroll data file. Contractors upload this file directly into LCPtracker for automated prevailing wage validation, project compliance tracking, and electronic certified submission — eliminating weekly manual spreadsheet re-entry.
What Is LCPtracker?
LCPtracker is the nation's leading cloud-based labor compliance and certified payroll management platform for construction. Used on more than $550 billion in public works projects by federal agencies, state departments of transportation, municipal agencies, prime contractors, and specialty trade subcontractors, LCPtracker automates prevailing wage compliance monitoring.
Prevailing Wage Validation
Automated rules engine checks uploaded payroll data against federal Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage determinations.
Labor Compliance Reporting

What Is Certified Payroll?
Certified payroll is a specialized weekly payroll report mandated by government agencies for contractors and subcontractors working on publicly funded infrastructure and public works construction projects.
Core Requirements of a Certified Payroll Report
Unlike standard internal payroll registers, certified payroll reports require strict disclosure of project-specific labor data under penalty of perjury:
- Worker Identification: Full employee names, craft trade codes, and last 4 digits of SSN or internal IDs.
- Jobsite & Hours: Detailed daily breakdown of regular straight-time and overtime hours worked on the specific public project.
- Wage Rates & Fringes: Hourly base rate paid plus itemized contributions to bona fide fringe benefit plans or cash-in-lieu.
- Statement of Compliance: Signed certification confirming that wage rates meet or exceed applicable prevailing wage determinations.
What Is Prevailing Wage?
Prevailing wage is the hourly pay rate, benefits, and overtime standards paid to the majority of workers in a specific craft trade within a defined geographic locality. Prevailing wage laws ensure that public tax dollars do not undercut local wage standards on public construction contracts.
Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division. Enforces prevailing wage rates on federally financed or assisted contracts exceeding $2,000 using Form WH-347 certified payroll.
Administered by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Enforces state prevailing wage determinations on state, county, and municipal public works projects exceeding $1,000, including electronic eCPR reporting.

LCPtracker and Certified Payroll for California Contractors
California enforces some of the most rigorous prevailing wage standards in the country. Contractors working on public works projects must register with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), track craft worker classifications, comply with strict apprentice utilization ratios, and submit electronic certified payroll records (eCPR).
How Auris Supports California Public Works Payroll:
- California Wage-and-Hour Alignment: Daily 8-hour overtime, 12-hour double-time, and 7th consecutive day overtime rules calculated accurately before export.
- DIR eCPR & LCPtracker Export Compatibility: Export formatted to support both private project compliance portals (like LCPtracker) and state agency submission standards.
- Central Coast & Statewide Service: Serving general contractors, trade subcontractors, and specialty trades across San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara County, Kern County, and Southern California.
Auris provides payroll processing and software export tools. Auris does not provide legal advice. Contractors are responsible for verifying project-specific DIR requirements and wage determination schedules.
