The Jobsite Decides the Tax. Assign It Right.
Move a crew across a city or state line and the withholding changes with them. Fintra pairs a live payroll tax configuration with workplace assignment that is in build, so each worker’s tax follows the jobsite they actually worked, not the office address.

Withholding follows the work, not the HQ
Construction payroll tax is a geography problem. A worker on a jobsite in another city or state can owe local taxes and be subject to that jurisdiction’s withholding, sometimes with reciprocity against their home state. If everyone is taxed at the office address, the filings are wrong. Fintra pairs the payroll tax configuration that exists today with workplace assignment, in build, so each worker is tied to the jobsite that actually drives their withholding.
What tax setup and workplace assignment do
- Configure federal, state, and local payroll taxes - live today
- Assign each worker to the jobsite workplace that drives withholding - in build
- Handle crews that cross city and state lines during a period
- Support multi-jurisdiction allocation when a worker splits across sites
- Feed the same governed payroll run and evidence ledger
One tax picture on the governed ledger
Workplace assignment plugs into the same payroll run that posts to the Fintra ledger, so the withholding, the job cost, and the certified-payroll and prevailing-wage engine in build all read one consistent picture of where each hour was worked. The run is sealed to the evidence ledger, so multi-jurisdiction withholding is a recorded decision, not a spreadsheet nobody can reconstruct at year end.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What is workplace assignment in payroll?
It is tying each worker to the jobsite where they actually worked, so payroll withholds the correct state and local taxes for that location rather than defaulting to the office address. It is essential when crews cross city or state lines.
Is this live in Fintra today?
Payroll tax configuration is live today. Multi-jurisdiction workplace assignment, which ties each worker to the jobsite that drives their withholding, is in active development.
Why does the jobsite matter for taxes?
Because many cities and states tax based on where the work is performed, sometimes with reciprocity against the worker’s home state. Taxing everyone at the office address produces wrong filings for crews working across jurisdictions.
How does it tie into the rest of payroll?
Workplace assignment feeds the same governed payroll run that posts to the ledger and seals to the evidence trail, so withholding, job cost, and the prevailing-wage engine in build all read one consistent record of where each hour was worked.
