Simplified Construction Payroll with PayrollPlus
Managing payroll in the construction industry is complex. With project-based workers, multiple job sites, varying wage rates, and strict labor requirements, construction companies need a payroll system that is accurate, compliant, and easy to manage.
PayrollPlus helps Philippine construction firms easily manage payroll, track labor costs per project, and stay compliant with local agencies like the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth, all from one reliable platform.
With PayrollPlus, you can easily comply with local labor laws, manage employee deductions and benefits, and generate accurate reports for government agencies.
What Is Construction Payroll?
Construction payroll covers employee wages, taxes, deductions, and reporting for workers assigned to specific projects or sites. It requires:
- Tracking hours per project or cost center
- Computing gross-to-net pay accurately
- Managing deductions and benefits
- Handling different pay rates for trades or roles
- Generating payroll and compliance reports
Without the right system, these tasks become time-consuming and prone to errors.

Common Payroll Challenges in Construction
Construction companies often face:
- Project-Based Operations – Each site has different timelines and budgets

- Multiple Locations – Payroll across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao
- Heavy Admin Work – Manual tracking and spreadsheet-based payroll slow teams down
