Most companies think they're buying compliance. They aren't. They are buying protection. At Dili, we protect two things that are incredibly difficult to get back once they are lost: ✅ Your money ✅ Your credibility On IRA tax credit projects, one missed apprenticeship requirement or underpaid worker can put the bonus credit at risk. Miss the 15% apprentice target by 2% on a 200,000 hour project, and that is 4,000 hours short, at $50 per hour... That is a $200,000 penalty. On Davis-Bacon work, the stakes go beyond dollars. When a wage issue surfaces, investors, lenders, GCs, and government agencies all start asking questions. The companies that keep winning work are the ones that can show their work on demand. That is what Dili was built to do: catch issues early, fix them fast, and keep the records that defend your position. The most expensive compliance issue isn't the one you find. It's the one you don't.

October 31 comes with more than costumes and candy this year 👻💸 It's also the Q3 cure period deadline. For July through September underpayments, paying the required back wages plus interest by October 31 may allow taxpayers to avoid the $5,000-per-worker penalty if the applicable waiver requirements are met. It's a good reminder of why proactive payroll review matters. Missing fringe, apprentice wage progression updates, and state/federal rate mismatches are much easier to address when they're caught while there's still time to cure them. And once an underpayment is identified, the next question is usually: what exactly needs to be paid? At Dili, we calculate the required corrective payment and project the interest through the anticipated payment date, so teams know exactly what needs to be corrected and paid. Would you rather hand out candy this Halloween or a $5,000-per-worker penalty payment to the IRS? 🍬

$10.4M. That’s how much prevailing wage penalty exposure Dili has flagged to date. A single, uncorrected prevailing-wage slip-up can cost teams $5,000 per worker, per year. For large-scale projects, that number adds up quickly. Dili identifies and resolves wage issues before they ever become a correction payment, let alone a penalty. Our system tracks certified payroll weekly against every applicable federal and state wage determination, pulled in real-time from SAM.gov. No more missing updated wage rates. No more surprises the day you claim the credit. None of those 2,081 prevailing wage mistakes ever turned into a single penalty payment. That’s the point. See what Dili can do for you.

Still tracking prevailing wage compliance manually? Dili automates certified payroll, wage validation, and IRA/ITC compliance – all in one platform.
