Weekly Payroll by 80%.
The Compliant Client system by eMars is your answer for worry free – time saving compliant payroll.
The system requires no installation or maintenance. It provides immediate, concurrent, real time visibility of all payroll records of the sub, prime, plus - the owner agency. All screens are printable. Every submitted payroll is audited, on line and in real time, against the wage determination and all 30 causes that are in support of Davis - Bacon and Related Acts.
The results of comparisons to the provisions set forth in the act are immediately reported, allowing corrections to be made promptly. A typical payroll is prepared in less than 8 minutes. Compliant Client requires a PC and less than 30 minutes of training. Complete implementation takes less than 1 day after loading the wage determination.
Compared to paper and pencil preparation, the eMars system represents an 80% productivity improvement, plus instant recognition of payroll errors that prompts the user how to solve the problems and guarantee compliance.
The system was designed with considerable input from the Department of Labor, agencies and contractors. Compliant Client’s 42,000+ clients have not had any random Department of Labor audits for the past 3 years. The Department of Labor’s Chief of Compliance stated that “…your system already has completed the first level of an audit..”C
About us
eMars began as Contract Compliance in 1993. The system then was mainframe positioned and was used to process contractor payrolls on HUD housing construction projects.
As the system evolved with the internet the name was changed to eMars, Inc. The process moved through three generations of servers into the existing completely encrypted data version.
eMars enlisted the help of the largest contractor in the state of California to help design a system that would be easy to use and still meet all the requirements of the complicated USA labor laws. The resulting system is now the most widely accepted certified payroll system used except for the systems required by certain California Agencies and Municipalities.

Testimonials
"Benefits have been tremendous to the point that in addition to ourselves we also have approximately 8000 contractors currently entering payrolls on the system and another 34,000 on closed projects. The system serves to raise the level of compliance and gives us peace of mind that wages paid by us and our subcontractors to their wage earners meets those high standards expected by the USACE and is received by the appropriate parties. The system is extremely user friendly for even the smallest contractors... It also interfaces with those companies which have existing automated payroll systems."
"...serves to reduce travel expenses since payrolls can be viewed from one central location... Subcontractors have come to rely on this system and are completely enamored with the speed and efficiency it provides. One subcontractor was behind several payroll submittals and caught up in 15 minutes... We highly endorse this method of meeting our payroll compliance obligations and this system in particular."
