What Is Payroll Services for Construction and Real Estate?

Payroll services for construction and real estate is the end-to-end processing of wages, statutory deductions, and compliance filings for workers employed on building and infrastructure project sites, governed by the BOCW Act 1996 and applicable labour laws.

Construction payroll differs from standard corporate payroll. Workers are engaged on daily wages, shift-based attendance, or piece-rate contracts. A single Pune project site may have the principal employer (developer), one or more contractors under the Contract Labour Act 1970, and dozens of sub-contractors. Each layer carries its own PF, ESIC, and wage obligations. The Payment of Wages Act 1936 requires wages within 7 days for sites under 1,000 workers.

For Pune's real estate developers - particularly those building MahaRERA-registered projects in Hinjewadi, Wakad, and PCMC - payroll data feeds directly into project financial reporting. MahaRERA requires quarterly progress reports including construction expenditure breakdowns. Patron's CA team structures construction payroll to serve both compliance and project accounting simultaneously.
