🚨 Attention New York Construction Firms: The rules for public works just changed. Are you prepared? 🚨
As of January 1, 2026, the NYSDOL mandates that all certified payroll records for Article 8 projects must be submitted electronically through the new NYS Certified Payroll Portal.
If your team is still relying on manual data entry or outdated spreadsheets, you're looking at a massive administrative bottleneck. Even worse? Late submissions can lead to delayed project funding and $100/day penalties. 📉
There’s a better way to handle the new mandate. 💡
At CEM Business Solutions, our Certified Payroll Module for Microsoft Dynamics 365 takes the headache out of NYS compliance:
✅ One-Click XML Uploads: The NYSDOL portal allows bulk uploads, but most payroll systems don't generate the right files. Our system automatically generates the exact XML file required so you can skip the manual data entry.
✅ Localized Prevailing Wage Automation: Accurately track supplemental benefits, fringe credits, and NYC-specific comptroller mandates without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
✅ Meet MWBE Utilization Goals: As a certified Women's Business Enterprise (WBE), partnering with CEM not only modernizes your technology but helps you hit your diversity participation requirements on state and city contracts!
Don't let manual entry fatigue and complex compliance requirements eat into your margins this year. Keep your projects compliant, efficient, and profitable.
