A Standing Scan for Prevailing-Wage Exposure
The costliest prevailing-wage mistakes are the quiet ones - a misclassification, a fringe a few cents short, an apprentice ratio out of bounds - found in an audit years later. The Prevailing Wage Agent would scan every run for that exposure and flag it before you file, never touching money itself.

The audit you run on yourself, every week
A DOL prevailing-wage audit asks a few unforgiving questions: was everyone classified right, did fringe meet the determination, were apprentice ratios in bounds. The Prevailing Wage Agent would ask those questions of every run, every week, before you file - surfacing a misclassification or a fringe shortfall as a flag you can fix, instead of a finding you settle. It scans and reports; it never changes pay or moves money on its own.
Grounded in the real books and sealed
The agent would scan the same governed payroll runs and job data on the Fintra ledger, so its findings are grounded in your real books, not a separate copy. It would build on the prevailing-wage engine in build and the live governance spine, and each scan and finding would be sealed to the recomputable evidence ledger - so the record shows not just that you paid the prevailing rate, but that you actively checked, every week.
Where this is today
Frequently asked questions
What is the Prevailing Wage Agent?
It is a proposed AI agent that scans every payroll run for prevailing-wage exposure - misclassification, fringe shortfalls, apprentice-ratio issues - and flags problems before you file, without changing pay or moving money itself.
Is the Prevailing Wage Agent live today?
No. It is on the roadmap and depends on the prevailing-wage engine that is in build. The live governance spine and payroll anomaly detection it would extend already scan pay runs today.
Why scan before filing?
Because a prevailing-wage problem found before you file is a correction, while the same problem found in a DOL audit years later is back wages and penalties. The agent is designed to be the one who finds it first.
Are the agent’s findings grounded in real data?
Yes. It would scan the same governed payroll runs and job data on the Fintra ledger, and each scan and finding would be sealed to the recomputable evidence ledger, so the record shows you actively checked each week.
