Certified Payroll in Alaska
Soft Home Global provides Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage filing for Alaska public works contractors at $1,700 per seat per month. Full time, worked during Alaska business hours, inside your own system.
What is specific to Alaska
Alaska has its own prevailing wage act, known as the Little Davis-Bacon Act, so contractors on state and municipal public construction file certified payrolls with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
A rejected filing that sits unworked is the same as no filing, and on a Alaska public job it can hold up a progress payment on the whole contract. The seat works rejections until the state marks the record approved.
What a certified payroll seat does in Alaska
Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage, filed weekly into whichever portal the agency uses.
- WH-347 or the state equivalent produced weekly
- Workers classified against the right determination for county and trade
- Base rate split from fringe, credits applied correctly
- Apprentice ratios checked before filing
- Rejection queue worked until every report reads ACCEPTED
- Worked during Alaska business hours, not queued overnight
Working Alaska hours
Alaska runs on Alaska time, 14 hours behind our floor in Rawalpindi. To be at a desk for your nine to five, the shift here runs 11pm to 7am, and 10pm to 6am once the clocks go forward. Pakistan does not observe daylight saving, so the shift moves on this side rather than yours.
One wrinkle worth naming: the Aleutian islands sit an hour further west again. If your practice sits on that side of the line, say so on the call and the shift is set to your clock rather than the one most of the state keeps.
That is the part that decides whether follow-up happens at all: a payer’s phone lines are open on Alaska hours and nobody else’s.
What it costs in Alaska
$1,700
Per seat, per month, in US dollars — $20,400 a year for one full-time person, forty hours a week, on Alaska hours. No annual contract, no percentage of collections, no setup fee and no software to buy. Seat prices across all roles in Alaska run $1,600 to $2,650; the full list is published.
That is the entire invoice. Run your own figures against a percentage vendor or a hire rather than take ours.
Getting started in Alaska
About a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue, and that week of training on your workflow is not billed on top. The work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to install. The week, step by step, and what is signed before anyone has access.
Questions
Do you work with Alaska contractors?
Yes. Alaska accounts are worked during Alaska office hours rather than queued overnight, because a payer's phone lines are open then and at no other time.
What is different about Alaska?
Alaska has its own prevailing wage act, known as the Little Davis-Bacon Act, so contractors on state and municipal public construction file certified payrolls with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
How much does certified payroll cost in Alaska?
$1,700 per seat per month — $20,400 a year for a full-time person, forty hours a week. Every seat price is published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing.
What hours will somebody actually be working our Alaska queue?
Alaska is on Alaska time, 14 hours behind Rawalpindi. The shift here runs 11pm to 7am so your seat is at a desk for your full working day, shifting to 10pm to 6am while daylight saving is in force — Pakistan does not observe it, so the change happens on our side.
Do you file certified payroll for Alaska yourselves?
We prepare and submit the weekly filings for your crews and work the rejections until the record is accepted. We are not your legal adviser on wage determination or classification disputes — where a call is genuinely a legal question, we will say so rather than guess, because a wrong classification is your liability and not a clerical matter.
Is this a percentage of what you collect?
No — a flat monthly rate per seat, published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing. A percentage bills you most in your best month and points the vendor at the easy accounts.
What is the minimum commitment, and how quickly can somebody start?
One seat for one month, cancellable on thirty days notice, and about a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue. The week of training is not billed. The steps are at softhomeglobal.com/how-it-works.
Is our patient data safe offshore?
A Business Associate Agreement is signed before anyone has access, and the work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so every action is attributable to a person in your audit trail. The controls are listed at softhomeglobal.com/security.

Twenty minutes on a call is enough to tell whether this fits. If it does not, I will say so.
