AI Prevailing Wage Compliance Agent

How Cassidy automates using AI

Step 1: Trigger on project setup or payroll cycle

The Workflow activates when a new public works contract is created or on a recurring weekly schedule, pulling project details including funding source, location, and construction type to determine DBRA applicability.

Step 2: Source and validate wage determinations

Cassidy queries SAM.gov to identify the correct Construction Wage Rate Requirements by county and construction type, locks the WD revision to the contract record, and monitors for updates that may affect ongoing work.

Step 3: Map classifications and validate worker data

The Workflow matches project tasks and worker roles to WD labor classifications, verifies apprentice registrations against DOL Office of Apprenticeship records, enforces journeyman-to-apprentice ratios, and flags any gaps requiring SF-1444 conformance requests.

Step 4: Calculate rates and validate deductions

Cassidy computes base hourly rates plus fringe benefits for each worker and classification, applies CWHSSA overtime rules for hours exceeding 40, validates all deductions against Copeland Act requirements, and alerts when underpayments or compliance issues are detected.

Step 5: Generate WH-347 certified payroll

The Workflow auto-populates the complete WH-347 form including worker identifiers, J vs. RA status, daily and weekly hours, rate breakdowns, fringe disclosures, and Statement of Compliance—with sequential numbering and final payroll designation when applicable.

Step 6: Route for approval and maintain audit trail

Completed payrolls route to designated supervisors for e-signature via Human-in-the-Loop review, then submit to the contracting agency per contract requirements while storing all supporting documentation—WDs, apprenticeship verifications, deduction authorizations, and correspondence—in an audit-ready repository.
