Certified Payroll Services: Frequently Asked Questions
USLaw Group LLC prepares certified payroll and prevailing wage reports for contractors and subcontractors working on public projects. Based in Manassas, Virginia, we support contractors across Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland and the rest of the United States.
​
What is certified payroll?
Certified payroll is a weekly payroll report that shows each worker’s trade classification, hours, pay rate, fringe benefits and deductions on a covered public project, together with a signed Statement of Compliance. On federal Davis-Bacon projects it is often submitted on Form WH-347 or in the format the agency requires.
​
Which projects require certified payroll?
Federal and federally funded construction contracts covered by the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts require weekly certified payrolls, and many state and local public works contracts have their own prevailing wage rules. Your contract documents and wage determination show which rules apply to your project.
​
Do you run payroll or pay my workers?
No. You or your payroll provider continue to run payroll. We use your payroll records to prepare the certified payroll reports, check them against the wage determination and organize the supporting documents.
​
Can you collect payrolls from my subcontractors?
Yes. We can collect and review subcontractor payrolls for the prime contractor, follow up on missing reports and keep a clear status list for every tier of the project.
​
What happens if a certified payroll report is wrong?
Errors can delay progress payments and can lead to back-wage payments or other agency action. When a mistake is found, we help you prepare corrected reports and the records the agency asks for. For legal disputes, we recommend that you work with an attorney.
​
Do you work with contractors outside Virginia?
Yes. We work with contractors in Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC, and we can support public projects in other states remotely.
