Certified Payroll in Maryland
Soft Home Global provides Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage filing for Maryland public works contractors at $1,700 per seat per month. Full time, worked during Maryland business hours, inside your own system.
What is specific to Maryland
Maryland has a state prevailing wage law for public works carrying state funding, requiring contractors to pay the published rates and file certified payroll records with the state Department of Labor.
A rejected filing that sits unworked is the same as no filing, and on a Maryland 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 Maryland
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 Maryland business hours, not queued overnight
Working Maryland hours
Maryland runs on Eastern time, 10 hours behind our floor in Rawalpindi. To be at a desk for your nine to five, the shift here runs 7pm to 3am, and 6pm to 2am once the clocks go forward. Pakistan does not observe daylight saving, so the shift moves on this side rather than yours.
That is the part that decides whether follow-up happens at all: a payer’s phone lines are open on Maryland hours and nobody else’s.
What it costs in Maryland
$1,700
Per seat, per month, in US dollars — $20,400 a year for one full-time person, forty hours a week, on Maryland hours. No annual contract, no percentage of collections, no setup fee and no software to buy. Seat prices across all roles in Maryland 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 Maryland
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.

How much does certified payroll cost in Maryland?
$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 Maryland queue?
Maryland is on Eastern time, 10 hours behind Rawalpindi. The shift here runs 7pm to 3am so your seat is at a desk for your full working day, shifting to 6pm to 2am while daylight saving is in force — Pakistan does not observe it, so the change happens on our side.
Do you file certified payroll for Maryland 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.
