Procore helps run the project. Drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, job costing, and project management all live in one place. Procore time tracking is part of that picture too, with Timesheets and Timecards that let teams record crew hours against jobs and cost codes right inside the platform.

Timesheet rounding is a common place practice, legal under the right conditions, and simplifies payroll math. But when the process is inconsistent, never audited, or drifts toward favoring one side, it can turn into a compliance liability.

Prevailing wages are a legal requirement that directly shapes how trade contractors price public work, structure payroll, and document workforce hours for public projects. 

For subcontractors bidding on federally funded or state-funded construction, understanding prevailing wage laws is essential. Failing to comply with those laws can mean back-pay obligations, fines,
