Automate pay splits, overtime, and compliance — no spreadsheets or manual math. Built for insulation, drywall, HVAC, flooring, and more.
Four things trade contractors need that no generic payroll tool handles.
Set custom pay tiers, split percentages, and compensation rules for every crew — no manual calculations. Supports revenue splits, square footage rates, and per-role percentages (Lead / Installer / Apprentice).
Start trialOvertime and pay slips calculated using federal FLSA methods and state wage baselines — designed to support your compliance process, not replace it. Every payroll run generates an audit-ready report to strengthen your recordkeeping. Always verify with your payroll provider or employment counsel.
See compliance detailsCrewsplit forecasts each installer's potential earnings as a job progresses, so you can share numbers with your crew before the week closes. Large jobs that span multiple pay periods are tracked from first day to last — contract value, paid to date, and remaining balance always visible. Motivated crews finish stronger when they can see what's coming.
Start trialEvery payroll run generates a printable audit report — installer summary, minimum wage pass/fail check, detailed job breakdown, legal basis statement (FLSA 7(g)(1)), and signature lines. Download as PDF and file it. If a labor board ever asks, you're covered.
Start trialA powerful payroll calculation engine built specifically for trade contractors — with FLSA overtime, audit reports, and multi-state wage support built in.
Assign active workers to specific jobs, adjust crew sizes mid-week, and let Crewsplit automatically map individual gross shares and calculate compliant hourly baselines — even when the crew changes day to day.
Instantly compute gross crew pools, per-man gross payouts, and effective hourly rates side-by-side across multiple piece-rate models — revenue split, square footage, per-role, or per-unit.
Automatically flag overtime risks under FLSA rules and surface warnings if effective hourly rates fall below local minimum wage baselines — keeping your business audit-ready every pay period.
Enter real job numbers and instantly see what each crew member earns under different pay structures — and whether you're over the minimum wage floor.
Whether you've been running piece-rate for years or you're making the switch from hourly, Crewsplit handles the math — accurately, compliantly, every week.
Bring your own formula — we'll run it.
Already using revenue splits, square footage rates, or per-role percentages? Import your jobs, configure your rules once, and Crewsplit calculates every crew member's pay automatically. No more spreadsheets, no more manual overtime math, no more wondering if your numbers will hold up to an audit.
We'll help you build a model that works.
Transitioning your crew from hourly to performance-based pay is one of the best moves you can make — but the math has to be right. Crewsplit is built around the pay models used by real insulation, drywall, flooring, and HVAC companies. Configure your rates, run a test week, and see exactly what each installer earns before you commit.
How you pay your crew depends on your trade. Crewsplit adapts to how your industry actually runs payroll.
Piece-rate compliance varies dramatically by state. Crewsplit flags risks automatically — so you're never caught off guard by a labor audit.
How we rate risk: Risk reflects how easily piece-rate employers end up out of compliance in that state — rule complexity, penalty severity, and whether workers have a private right to sue (like California's PAGA). It's not a measure of how often the state audits payroll.
