Start with the applicable requirement
Project funding, jurisdiction, work location, determination, and modification establish the wage context. Preserve which version applies and why.
Operational takeawayRecord the source and effective version behind every compliance rule.
Review total compensation
Required compensation may include a base wage and fringe obligation. Compare eligible cash wages and bona fide benefits using deterministic arithmetic.
Operational takeawayUse repeatable calculations and show the math behind every discrepancy.
Treat classification as context
Job titles alone are not enough. Compare actual duties, reported classification, wage schedule, prior weeks, and supporting records.
Operational takeawayPreserve decisions and corrections with the payroll week they belong to.
