Federal Prevailing Wage Payroll Form

Federally funded public works projects over $2,000 are subject to federal prevailing wages under what is known as the Davis-Bacon Act.

One of the requirements that goes along with federal funding is that contractors and subcontractors must submit weekly certified payroll reports to the public agency.

The payroll reports must list, among other items of information, the following: the names of the individuals employed on the project, their classification of labor, the hourly wage and overtime rates paid, the gross pay, the deductions made, and the net pay.

The U.S. Department of Labor publishes a standard payroll report form that conforms to their requirements for submission of payrolls. The WH-347 form may be obtained online from the U.S. Department of Labor by clicking here.
