EMPulseTM Construction Payroll
Managing labour costs on construction projects can be a daunting task without the right tools. That’s why ORANGE Digital Systems designed a special Canadian payroll solution for industrial and commercial construction companies, general contractors and specialist construction firms.
EMPulse Construction Payroll makes construction payroll processing easy by automatically calculating all hourly rates, taxes, union dues, worker’s compensation, earnings, premiums, benefits, deductions and expenses. With our time entry self-service module, employees simply enter their hours at the job site or at home and EMPulse does the rest. Employee timesheets are automatically transformed into pay checks and costing information, which can be seamlessly integrated into your construction accounting system to help you monitor and control labour costs.
For the Quebec construction industry, EMPulse Construction Payroll includes built-in CCQ parameters and automatically calculates CCQ, RBQ, and CSST contributions. Monthly CCQ reports can be prepared with a click of a button.
