This precheck is an automated screening aid, not legal, payroll, tax, or agency advice. Confirm classifications, wage determinations, and payroll treatment with the contracting agency or a qualified advisor.

What we found, and what to do about it

Fix these first

Left alone, these usually turn into real money problems — withheld payments or back wages.

Fix first

Base pay is below the required rate

Payroll row 3 pays $60.00 base for BRICKLAYER - $7.39/hr below the required base of $67.39, about $295.60 short for this week's 40 hours.

Estimated shortfall for this payroll week: $295.60

Double-check before payroll

These need a person to confirm before money goes out.

Double-check

Driver and delivery work: coverage is genuinely unsettled

A 2024 federal court order paused the rules that would have covered some delivery driver and material-supplier work, and that fight isn't resolved. Time spent working on the site is generally covered; pure delivery to the site may not be. Don't assume either way - ask the contracting officer how they treat driver time on this job.

Where we saw it

  • your payroll, row 7: “TRUCK DRIVER”
Double-check

Multiple classification candidates need review

The candidate list includes ELECTRICIAN Electricians and Heavy Equipment Operator. Review the actual work performed; related classifications are not automatically interchangeable.

Where we saw it

  • the wage determination, line 213: “ELECTRICIAN Electricians................$ 62.00 74.695%+19.50”
  • the wage determination, line 245: “Heavy Equipment Operator....$ 56.46 34.63”
Double-check

Signed Statement of Compliance is not confirmed

Payroll rows were supplied, but the signed WH-347 / certified payroll Statement of Compliance has not been confirmed. Treat the report as payroll math screening only until the signed statement is reviewed.

Where we saw it

  • your project details, certified payroll statement status: “unknown”
Double-check

Fringe benefit plan credit requires manual review

Payroll row 5 claims $17.54 per hour in plan fringe credit. This check can't verify that the plan is a bona fide benefit plan, its annualization, or who's eligible - have your payroll advisor confirm the plan before counting it toward the required fringe.

Where we saw it

  • your payroll, row 5
Double-check

Apprentice or trainee rate requires manual review

Payroll row 6 appears to involve apprentice/trainee work. This check can't verify registered apprenticeship status, the approved wage percentage, jobsite ratios, or program paperwork - confirm those with the apprenticeship program before payroll.

Where we saw it

  • your payroll, row 6
Double-check

Payroll classification isn't in this wage determination

Payroll row 6 uses "ELECTRICIAN APPRENTICE 2ND YEAR", which doesn't appear in this wage determination. Do not substitute a related classification without agency/contracting-officer review; missing work may require an additional classification process.

Where we saw it

  • your payroll, row 6: “ELECTRICIAN APPRENTICE 2ND YEAR”
Double-check

Overtime requires manual review

Payroll row 8 includes overtime. This check covers the straight-time wage and fringe package; have your payroll advisor confirm the overtime premium math (usually 1.5x the base rate, with fringe staying at the straight rate).

Where we saw it

  • your payroll, row 8

Crew wage sheet

Every classification this run touched — from your trade lookup and from your payroll rows. "All-in" is base plus fringe: what you owe per straight-time hour if you pay the fringe in cash instead of providing benefits. Pin this next to the payroll computer, but confirm each classification first.

Overtime here uses the usual federal rule for this work: 1.5 times the base rate, with fringe staying at the straight rate. Fringe can be paid as cash on the paycheck or as the cost of real benefits (health, pension, etc.) — mixing is allowed if it adds up. Confirm overtime and benefit credits with your payroll advisor; some contracts and states differ.

Your draft WH-347

We haven't prefilled this draft by default.

This run found 6 pay problems (see "What we found" above). A form prefilled from those numbers would carry the problems onto something you sign. Fix the issues and re-run for a clean draft — or prepare it anyway below and correct the affected rows by hand.

Draft prepared from your payroll data. Review every line — only your signature on the Statement of Compliance certifies it. Edit any cell below, then download the official form with these values filled in - it stays editable in any PDF viewer. Day-by-day hours are left for you to split. (The blank form lives at dol.gov). The form asks for hours by day; these are your weekly totals.

WH-347 starter sheet

WH-347 is the standard weekly certified payroll form. The Department of Labor has a free fillable version at dol.gov/agencies/whd/forms/wh347. These are the values from this run to copy into it — use the classification wording exactly as it appears in the wage determination.

Work classification to enterELECTRICIAN Electricians; Heavy Equipment Operator; Jobbing, and maintenance and repair work

Your first certified payroll, step by step

  1. Number your payrolls starting at 1 and keep them consecutive every week, with no gaps — submit a "no work performed" payroll for idle weeks, or mark the final one "FINAL".
  2. List every laborer and mechanic who worked on the site that week, with their work classification exactly as it reads in the wage determination.
  3. Show hours per day, the rate paid, gross wages, deductions, and net pay. Use an individual ID number, never a full Social Security number.
  4. If you pay fringe as cash, show it in the rate. If you provide benefits instead, check the box for it on the Statement of Compliance and be ready to show the benefit costs.
  5. Have an owner or officer sign the Statement of Compliance (page 2) every week. That signature is a federal certification — it is the part that makes payroll "certified".
  6. Submit to the contracting agency or your prime within 7 days of the pay date, every week.
  7. Keep copies and supporting records for at least 3 years after the project ends.

This product does not create or certify the form — the list above is a checklist of what the form and its instructions require.
