What certified payroll software actually does

Here's the short version: Davis-Bacon says you owe a weekly WH-347 on any federal job. Doing it by hand means building spreadsheets, hand-calculating fringe benefits, and double-checking prevailing wage rates by county. Software does all that for you. You enter hours, hit generate, done.

Build WH-347 PDFs for you

Your payroll data drops onto the official DOL template. No typing into tiny boxes, no PDF editors.

Check your prevailing wages

We match worker pay against the right Davis-Bacon wage determination for wherever the job is.

Split hours by classification

Carpenter hours go to Carpenter, Electrician to Electrician. If a guy does both, we split it.

Handle multi-state jobs

Assign a work location per day per worker. Right rate applies to the right jurisdiction, automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is certified payroll software?

It builds your weekly WH-347 for you. You plug in hours, it checks the prevailing wage, splits the fringe benefits, fills out the DOL PDF, and spits out something you can actually send to the contracting officer. No more Friday nights wrestling with Excel.

Who needs certified payroll software?

If you're on a federal or federally assisted job over $2,000, you're filing weekly. Doesn't matter if you're the GC or the HVAC sub running two guys — Davis-Bacon catches everyone. Electrical, plumbing, concrete, roofing, drywall — all the trades.

How much does certified payroll software cost?

The old guys charge $995 to $4,995 just to turn the key, then $175+ a month on top. We're $49/month, zero setup, and $1-$5 per report. Most folks cut their bill in half or more when they switch.

Does CertifiedPayrollPro integrate with ADP, Gusto, and QuickBooks?

Yes. We integrate with ADP, Paychex, Gusto, QuickBooks, UKG, Paycor, Paylocity, Rippling, and Dayforce. You can also import via CSV or enter payroll data manually.

Can I generate state-specific certified payroll reports?

Yep. Besides the federal WH-347, we do California DIR eCPR, the Illinois Transcript, New York MPWR, and every other state form you might run into. State reports kick in on the Pro plan.

Do I need to be an accountant to use certified payroll software?

No. We built this for contractors, not CPAs. Lydia (our built-in AI) walks you through each week and catches problems before you hit submit. If you can fill out a timesheet, you can run this.

How long does it take to generate a WH-347 report?

5-10 minutes once your crew and jobs are loaded. Compare that to an hour or two of spreadsheet fighting — or worse, waiting three days for your managed-service company to get back to you with one report.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. You get 14 days of full Pro plan access plus 3 free certified payroll reports. No credit card required to start.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel anytime with one click. Your data exports free in CSV/PDF format. No clawbacks, no penalty fees, no 'talk to sales' hoops.
