LCPtracker sells two products: LCPtracker Pro for agencies and prime contractors, and LCPcertified for self-performing contractors. Alternatives to Pro for collecting subcontractor payrolls include eMars, Elation Systems and Buildalytic, which also chases missing weeks by call and text. Alternatives to LCPcertified for filing your own reports include CertifiedPayrollPro, WeeklyCertified, eBacon and Miter.
What to take away
- Match the alternative to the LCPtracker product you are replacing.
- Primes and agencies need collection, review and follow-up across many employers.
- Subcontractors need correct reports and the state file their agency accepts.
Which LCPtracker are you replacing?
LCPtracker Pro is described as “ideal for public agencies and prime contractors that are responsible for monitoring the compliance of all contractors on their project”. LCPcertified is “ideal for self-performing contractors who are not responsible for other subcontractors' compliance”. They solve different problems, so the alternatives differ too.
