What Utah Electricians Tell Us

The Problems Every
Growing Electrical Shop Faces.

Utah’s construction boom means electrical work is everywhere. Here’s what’s holding back every shop trying to scale.

🎓

Apprentices Leave for Union Shops

You invest 2–4 years training an apprentice, get them NATE certified, and a union shop recruits them away with a benefits package you can’t match. The training pipeline is your growth engine — losing it kills your scale.

Shops with benefits fill apprentice roles 3× faster
📊

Prevailing Wage Is a Nightmare

Government electrical jobs require prevailing wage payroll reporting with weekly certified payroll. Most electrical shops either avoid those jobs entirely or make compliance mistakes that delay payment and risk debarment.

71% of contractors experience prevailing wage payment delays
⚡

Electrical WC Rates Are High

Electrical work — panel work, high voltage, construction sites — carries significant WC exposure. Misclassified employees and wrong NCCI codes mean you’re paying more than you should every year.

Most electrical companies are miscoded and overpaying WC
📁

Zero HR Infrastructure

No employee handbook. No documented termination process. No sexual harassment policy. One employment dispute and you’re exposed. Growing electrical shops are one bad separation away from a lawsuit they have no protection against.

💸

Payroll Complexity Every Week

Hourly journeymen, apprentice rates by year of training, overtime on commercial jobs, prevailing wage on government work — electrical payroll is one of the most complex in the trades. Manual errors mean IRS notices.

🔧

Can’t Scale Without Keeping People

Every electrical company that wants to grow from 8 to 25 to 50 employees hits the same wall: people leave. You can’t build capacity when your best journeymen take their skills to a better-benefited shop.

Replacing a journeyman costs 75–100% of annual salary

Common Questions

Utah Electricians Ask Us This.

Can we really match what union shops offer on benefits? ▾
Yes — through a PEO, your employees get access to group health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans at rates comparable to what large union shops and corporations offer. The key difference is you’re not paying union dues or overhead. Your crew gets the benefits without the union politics, and you maintain direct control of your business.
We do prevailing wage jobs. Can you handle certified payroll? ▾
Absolutely. Our payroll system handles prevailing wage calculations, weekly certified payroll reporting (Form WH-347), and the fringe benefit allocations required for Davis-Bacon and Utah state prevailing wage projects. This opens up more government and public electrical work for your shop without the compliance headache.
My apprentices are at different pay tiers. Can payroll handle that? ▾
Yes. IBEW-style apprentice tiered pay (1st year, 2nd year, etc.) is something we handle routinely. Each employee’s classification and rate is tracked separately, with proper tax treatment at each level. Your journeymen, foremen, and apprentices all run through the same clean payroll system.
How does workers comp work for electrical contractors specifically? ▾
Electrical contractors fall under specific NCCI classification codes based on the type of work — residential wiring, commercial, industrial, or high voltage each carry different rates. Most electrical companies are improperly classified and overpaying. Through a PEO, we ensure you’re in the right codes and accessing group rates that lower your overall WC premium.
Is this truly free for our electrical company? ▾
Yes. Peak Business Services earns a referral commission from American Benefits Company when we successfully place your business. You pay nothing for our advisory work or setup help. Your electrical company never receives a bill from Peak.
