Certified Payroll Reporting Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult!
Certified payroll reporting is a weekly compliance requirement for government-funded construction projects that documents worker wages, benefits and hours to ensure compliance with prevailing wage laws.
Whether you’ve done certified payroll reports in the past, or you’re just now considering jobs that require these reports, there’s always a little hesitation that comes with taking on government-funded projects. And it’s easy to see why – the reporting requirements can be daunting!

What Are Certified Payroll Report Formats?
Depending on where you’re submitting your certified payroll reports, you may be required to use a different report format for each of your qualifying jobs. Different states, municipalities and federal agencies each have their own specific formatting requirements and submission processes.
And even though most of these formats typically require the same information, the location of that information can vary drastically between each type, making it a bit like a game of hide-and-seek with where your numbers should go.
With Payroll4Construction, you’ll have instant access to dozens of print and electronic certified payroll report formats — all with your required information automatically updated every payroll.

Certified Payroll FAQ
What Is the Difference Between Certified Payroll and Prevailing Wage?
Prevailing wage is the minimum pay rate and fringe benefit amount required for laborers on public construction projects.
Certified payroll is the official weekly compliance report, typically submitted on Form WH-347, that proves a contractor paid those exact mandated prevailing wage rates.
While prevailing wage establishes the required pay scale, certified payroll is the official documentation that keeps your company compliant and eligible for government work.
