Certified payroll

Using certified payroll, you can report payroll on jobs that are governed by prevailing wage and certified payroll, which is the case for federally funded projects.

Add job sites

In the left side of the page, you have the list of job sites where you can add certified job sites. Select the plus (+) button to add a new job site, as shown in the following screenshot.

Use the search and sorting options to locate job sites or organize the list as preferred. The following screenshot highlights these option in the job site list.

Select a job site

Each job site entry in the field has the job site number, payroll week end, and the payroll number, as shown in the following screenshot.

As soon as you add a job site to Certified payroll, the first generated weekly payroll has the Payroll number of 1. And each consecutive weekly payroll is counted from there.

Select a job site from the list to view payroll details. The payroll details include the hours completed by each employee, as shown in the following screenshot.

You also see the Total hours completed by the employee, their Rate of pay, and the Gross amount calculated accordingly. In addition, each employee entry includes a Work classification field, which is required for certified projects and refers to the categorization of employees based on their job duties, skills, and responsibilities. Work classification is set in the employee profile.

Approve and sign

After reviewing the payroll for the selected job site, select Approve and sign in the upper right corner of the page. Next, you'll see a dialog with the following fields:

• Name of signatory party. Who is signing the payroll.
• Title
• Fringe benefits paid to plans. The employer contributes to bona fide benefit plans, such as health insurance, vacations funds, life insurance, on behalf of employees. The contributions are paid directly to the benefit providers or trust funds and are tracked separately from the hourly wage.
• Fringe benefits paid in cash. Instead of providing benefits through plans, the employer adds the fringe benefit amount to the employer's paycheck.
• Remarks. Any additional notes.

After completing the form, select Sign to finalize. Next, you'll see the certified payroll reflected through the U.S. Department of Labor official form, as shown in the following screenshot.

Download and share

The generated payroll form can now be shared via email or downloaded as a PDF. These options are highlighted in the following screenshot.

To add an email recipient, enter the email address in the file and select the plus (+) button, as shown in the following screenshots.
