Every license current. Every call answered.
Plumbing runs on licensed trades, emergency on-call rotations, and jobs that often require prevailing wage reporting. Netchex keeps license tracking, on-call pay, and compliance running so your plumbers stay on the job, not buried in paperwork.
The challenges plumbing teams face every day.
Plumbing contractors carry a mix of licensing requirements, on-call demands, and compliance reporting that most HR platforms weren’t built to handle.
License renewals get missed across a growing roster
Journeyman and master plumber licenses expire on different schedules, and manual tracking becomes a compliance risk as your team grows.
Emergency on-call pay is easy to calculate wrong
After-hours and emergency dispatch pay needs to be right every time, or you risk losing trust with your best plumbers.
Prevailing wage payroll takes hours every week
Municipal and commercial jobs increasingly require certified payroll reporting. Building it by hand from timesheets is slow.
Skilled plumber turnover is costly
Replacing a licensed plumber is expensive and slow in a labor market where demand already outpaces the supply.
Dispatch and payroll live in two systems
Multi-crew dispatch and time tracking often don’t talk to payroll, so hours worked and hours paid don’t always match.
There’s a better way to run it
Netchex automates license tracking, on-call pay, and certified payroll reporting, so your office spends less time on paperwork.
How the plumbing industry is changing.
Demand for licensed plumbers keeps outpacing supply
Demand for licensed plumbers continues to outpace the number of new technicians entering the trade nationally.
Contracts increasingly require certified payroll
Municipal and commercial contracts are adding certified payroll documentation requirements, raising the compliance bar.
Licensing boards are tightening enforcement
State licensing boards are increasing scrutiny of journeyman and master plumber credentials, making automated tracking essential.
Earned wage access is winning the retention battle
Companies offering earned wage access are outcompeting for the licensed trades everyone in the industry needs.
