Certified Payroll Setup and Entry

Certified Payroll Guide

Setting up Certified Payroll Functionality allows user to enter employee hours by date, work classification/project and produce a US DOL Certified Payroll report.

Who needs to file a Certified Payroll Report? Contractors or Subcontractors who work on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works. This is known as the Davis-Bacon Act. It ensures that contractors and subcontractors pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area.

Certified Payroll Reports must be submitted weekly seven days following the pay date

  6. What are the prevailing wages by work classification? *Obtain the union wage agreement (Ex: wage rate sheet) if the project is being worked by Union EEs
  7. Should healthcare expenses be included in the certified payroll? If so, we will need the hourly rate they are paid
  8. Do you have a Weekly or Biweekly payroll?
