2026 SDDOT Labor Compliance Webinar

The SDDOT and Elation Systems hosted a joint webinar, March 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. (CT). SDDOT covered the new Davis Bacon Wage Decision and updated Defined Work Classifications, and the basic use of the electronic payroll submission system (EPSS) through Elation System as well as possible compliance issues that may arise.

Both Elation Systems and SDDOT provided input on everything from entering employees into the system, selecting job classifications, fringe benefits, submitting payroll reports, compliance issues such as overtime/fringe benefits, hours worked (on and off project), hours worked on more than one project or multiple job classifications.

We show you how to amend a certified payroll report, change weekending dates, and a multitude of other topics. The purpose of the webinar was to provide training, or just a refresher, to the contractors and subcontractors who submit electronic payroll reports to the SDDOT in an effort to help them navigate through the Elation Systems program with more ease and confidence and to provide more complete and accurate payroll data information.
