Illinois workflow

County, trade, rate, and reporting row need to agree.

A clean Illinois workflow starts by tying the worker record to the applicable county and trade, checking the supplied wage and fringe requirement, and resolving incomplete fields before portal entry begins.

Purpose-built preparation

Check the payroll before the Illinois portal step.

Illinois maintains an online Certified Transcript of Payroll Portal and publishes county prevailing-wage schedules. WagePilot focuses the launch workflow on payroll readiness before portal entry or template import.

01

County and trade context

Compare classifications against the supplied Illinois county schedule instead of relying on a generic statewide rate.

02

Wage and fringe arithmetic

Calculate discrepancies deterministically and show the source row and supplied rate evidence.

03

Import-field readiness

Find incomplete worker, classification, hours, rate, and gross-pay fields before portal preparation.

04

Correction evidence

Preserve the finding and proposed next action so the person filing can resolve it upstream.

One repeatable path

From payroll export to reporting preparation.

  1. 1
    Choose Illinois context

    Add county, project type, and the applicable prevailing-wage schedule.

  2. 2
    Upload the payroll

    Use CSV, XLSX, or an existing certified payroll PDF.

  3. 3
    Clear exceptions

    Correct incomplete fields, classification mismatches, and numerical discrepancies.

  4. 4
    Prepare portal data

    Use the cleaner payroll for the Illinois Certified Transcript of Payroll workflow.

Validation boundaryIllinois compliance rules and portal readiness are not fully evaluated. A qualified reviewer must check applicable overtime schedules, fringe restrictions and reporting fields. No Illinois portal submission or import-template validation is provided.

One payroll is enough to start

Give WagePilot one payroll.

01

Upload

Use a WH-347, CSV, XLSX, or payroll export.

02

WagePilot checks it

Rules handle arithmetic; contextual review handles ambiguity.

03

Review exceptions

Clean entries disappear into the background.

Before you upload

Clear answers to the risky questions.

Current security boundaryNothing is filed automatically, and uploaded files are not intentionally retained by WagePilot after processing.
Do I have to replace my payroll provider?

No. The launch workflow starts with a PDF, CSV, or XLSX export. Your payroll system remains the source.

Does WagePilot submit reports automatically?

No. The diagnostic does not file anything. Material decisions and regulated submissions remain with you.

What happens when the review is uncertain?

The item is surfaced with review limitations, supporting evidence, and a recommended next action for human review.

Can I see why an issue was flagged?

Yes. Findings show the source, supplied rule evidence, calculation where applicable, review limitations, and next action.

Does WagePilot calculate prevailing wages?

Code performs deterministic comparisons against wage rules you supply. The MVP does not automatically identify the legally applicable determination.

What happens to my payroll data?

Files are held only while the review runs and are deleted when it finishes. PDF files are sent to OpenAI for structured extraction and the temporary uploaded file is deleted after processing. Unless your organization turns on the optional, encrypted keeping of originals in Settings, WagePilot does not keep payroll files.

Can I use this for one project?

Yes. Start with one payroll and one project without creating an account or entering a credit card.

What states are supported?

The initial diagnostic runs a narrow supplied-rules review. California, Illinois, and New York pages describe their reporting workflows, but WagePilot does not claim complete 50-state rules or filing support.
