Turn a weekly payroll export into a Davis-Bacon WH-347.
PayCert maps hours, classifications, cash fringe, and deductions onto a print-ready certified payroll — so controllers are not rebuilding the federal grid by hand the night it is due.
Upload a CSV that matches the PayCert template. QuickBooks and Gusto exports need to be reformatted to match; direct connections and automatic column mapping are not currently available. Empty template·Sample CSV
Built for 5–80 person electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and concrete shops preparing weekly Davis-Bacon certified payroll from a CSV. Certified payroll is still due within seven days of payday.
01
The clock is weekly
On Davis-Bacon jobs, certified payroll is due no more than seven days after payday. Spreadsheet archaeology does not scale past the second crew.
02
The grid is unforgiving
Hours, ST/OT, cash-in-lieu fringe, FICA, withholdings, and net pay have to land in WH-347 columns — not in a Gusto register.
03
A focused weekly workflow
Prepare a WH-347 review copy from the PayCert CSV template, check the payroll details, and print it for review and signing.
Product demo
See it in about 90 seconds
Watch a weekly payroll CSV land on a print-ready WH-347. This is a review copy — you remain the certifier.
The sample is fictional. Use it to walk the same path as the demo.
How it works
Four steps. Then you review and sign.
Step 1
Enter the job
Project, contract number, location, wage determination, contractor, and the official who will sign the Statement of Compliance.
Step 2
Upload the template
Drop in a CSV whose headers match the PayCert template — the same columns as the sample Northline Electrical payroll. Reformat a QuickBooks or Gusto export before uploading.
Step 3
Check the math
We validate daily hours, rates, cash fringe, itemized deductions, and net wages before anything is printable.
Step 4
Print the WH-347
A review copy of the payroll grid plus Statement of Compliance. Save as PDF from the browser. You remain the certifier.
Sample file
Northline Electrical, week ending Sept 13, 2026
Fictional weekly payroll for a Riverside Substation Upgrade. Ten workers, cash-in-lieu fringe only, demo employee IDs (not SSNs). Use it to walk the product end-to-end, or as the header map for your own export.
| CSV columns | WH-347 use |
|---|---|
| employee_name, employee_address, employee_id | Worker identification. IDs are demo keys, never full SSNs. |
| classification, monday_st–sunday_ot | Labor classification and daily straight-time / overtime hours. |
| regular_rate, overtime_rate, fringe_cash_rate | ST/OT rates and cash-in-lieu fringe. v1 does not model full benefit plans. |
| FICA, withholding, other_deductions, net_wages_paid | Itemized deductions and net wages for the Copeland Act statement. |

Practical questions before you upload
What information does my CSV need?
Headers must match the PayCert template exactly. The importer does not rename columns or infer missing payroll details. See the column map, download the empty template, or start from the sample payroll. Required fields include worker identification, classification, daily ST/OT hours, rates, cash-in-lieu fringe, itemized deductions, and net wages.
Can I upload directly from QuickBooks or Gusto?
No. PayCert does not connect to payroll providers and does not auto-map export columns. Export the week, then reformat the file to the PayCert CSV headers before uploading.
Does PayCert verify prevailing wage rates or certify my payroll?
No. PayCert checks arithmetic and internal consistency — daily hours versus weekly totals, rates and cash fringe as entered, deductions, and net pay — so the review copy is internally coherent. It does not look up or verify wage-determination rates, and it does not certify payroll for the Department of Labor. You remain responsible for classifications, WD rates, the Statement of Compliance, and filing.
Where is my payroll saved?
The current draft is saved in this browser’s local storage. That is not a backed-up account history and it does not sync across devices. Clearing site data, using another browser, or switching computers can remove the draft.
What should I review before signing?
Check the source payroll against the WH-347 review copy: classifications, hours, rates, fringe, deductions, and the Statement of Compliance. Confirm the project’s submission requirements. PayCert does not calculate full benefit-plan credits or file on your behalf.
The pre-submit checklist walks the same review in order.
