Companies working on federal contracts subject to the Service Contract Act must comply with a unique set of regulations related to the payment of mandatory hourly fringe benefits. Traditional corporate benefit plans are simply not designed to align with hourly fringe rates but rather monthly premiums. Failure to comply with SCA fringe benefit regulations can have significant adverse consequences.

CBIZ’s Government Contracting Practice is here to help.

CBIZ’s Government Contracting Practice (CBIZ GCP) was created in direct response to the unique benefit needs of CBIZ’s government contracting clients who are subject to the prevailing wage benefit provisions of the Service Contact Act (SCA) and Davis-Bacon Act.

CBIZ GCP understands the complexity of delivering and administering employee benefit programs compliant with these regulations. Our role is to manage the complexity of the regulations while delivering a comprehensive package of benefits to your company’s SCA workforce.




Our Services & Solutions

At CBIZ Government Contracting Practice, we approach each engagement from a simple philosophy — as a government contractor, your benefit issues are unique and more challenging than those experienced in the usual commercial market. As such, the benefit solutions you adopt need to be designed to meet the challenges your industry faces.

The services we provide consider those unique challenges, resulting in benefit strategies, programs, and administration tailored to the needs of your various government contracts.

Benefit Administration Technology

The cornerstone of our service offerings is the CBIZ Complete Benefit Administration System, or CBAS. CBAS is a cloud-based technology platform which integrates the knowledge of benefit professionals, information systems specialists and Service Contract Act (SCA) and the Davis Bacon Act (DBA) experts. CBAS is supported by an in-house team of full-time software developers and is constantly being upgraded and enhanced to provide our government contracting clients with cutting-edge technology and administrative services.

CBIZ Insurance Trust

CBIZ provides fully outsourced prevailing wage benefits through a proprietary turnkey solution: the CBIZ Insurance Trust. The CBIZ Insurance Trust is a fully insured group insurance arrangement created specifically for and limited to government contracting employers. It provides a turnkey solution for providing compliant benefits for SCA and DBA employees that includes a competitive benefits package and full administrative services.

Compliance Audits

With the Department of Labor’s increased enforcement activity in reviewing prevailing wage benefit compliance on government contracts, it’s critical that contractors review their current practices and identify areas of risk in the case of a government audit. CBIZ’s prevailing wage benefit experts can provide peace of mind by providing a full evaluation of your current Service Contract or Davis-Bacon benefit practices.

Consulting & Brokerage Services

As your broker and consultant for government contracting benefits, we provide the full range of services you expect when designing and implementing benefit plans for your government contracting employees.
