About Public Works Pay

Public Works Pay is building certified payroll for small public-works subcontractors. You’ll import your payroll, pick the job’s wage determination, and get a WH-347 and the state’s report ready for your e-signed statement of compliance, archived by project. It’s a waitlist today. Public Works Pay doesn’t give legal or payroll advice, and the contractor who signs each report certifies it.

Does Public Works Pay make sure a report is compliant?

No. Public Works Pay doesn’t give legal or payroll advice and doesn’t guarantee that a report complies, and it isn’t affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor or any state agency. The contractor who signs the statement of compliance certifies the report. Rates, classifications and apprentice ratios come from the job’s wage determination and the contract, and questions about them go to the contracting agency, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division or the state labor department.

How does Public Works Pay check its facts?

Every fact comes from the Department of Labor, SAM.gov, a state labor department or the statute itself, and every page shows the date we checked it. The editorial standards page explains how pages are sourced, dated and corrected.
