LaborAid isn't payroll. It's what payroll leaves behind
Every payroll system stops at the report. LaborAid picks up where they end — moving the actual money to each union fund.
Cut costs by at least 50% with LaborAid.
The gap no one talks about
Payroll calculates what you owe. Compliance tools flag when you're wrong. ERP systems plan your workforce. None of them pay the funds. That's the gap LaborAid fills.

Relationship to LaborAid

Construction Payroll
Upstream: its payroll output feeds LaborAid's remittance.
What only LaborAid does
The CBA lives in the platform
With other tools, your payroll staff own CBA interpretation. LaborAid ingests the agreement itself — rates, fund structures, reciprocity, traveler logic — so the platform carries that expertise.
We move the money and prove it
LaborAid executes the actual payment to every fund via embedded payments, handles retroactive adjustments, and produces an audit trail that reconciles to real deposits — not a report of what should have been paid.

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Everything you need to know about LaborAid. Can't find your answer here? Our team is ready to help.
Is LaborAid a payroll system?
No. LaborAid starts where payroll ends. Your payroll system calculates what you owe — LaborAid moves that money to each union fund and proves it was paid.
Do I need to replace my existing payroll software?
No. LaborAid works alongside your current payroll system. Your payroll output feeds into LaborAid, which handles the remittance from there.
Do I need to be a CBA expert to use LaborAid?
No. LaborAid ingests the CBA itself — rates, fund structures, reciprocity, and traveler logic are built into the platform. Your team confirms, not configures.
How is LaborAid different from other compliance tools?
Compliance tools flag gaps and underpayments. LaborAid closes them — it executes the actual payment to each fund via embedded payments.
What happens if rates change mid-contract?
LaborAid handles retroactive adjustments automatically and recalculates the affected fund remittances.
How do you prove payments were made?
Every payment creates an audit trail that reconciles to actual fund deposits — not just a report of what should have been paid.
Which unions does LaborAid support?
LaborAid supports all union locals in the US & Canada.
