(1) What you do now
Export payroll. Open a blank WH‑347. Retype every worker, every classification, every fringe line — by hand, every week, for every project.
Certified payroll, without the retyping
Form WH‑347 · Davis‑Bacon(2) What you'd do instead
Drag the same export onto one file. Fill three boxes. Click Export. A completed WH‑347 PDF, ready to sign.
I run payroll for a living and I build the file tools that make it bearable. This one is for Utah subs and bookkeepers on federally funded jobs — the work that has to be certified weekly, in a form that just changed.

October 1, 2026: the revised WH‑347 becomes the only valid form for federal certified payroll. Most setups are still built for the old one.
Three steps, start to finish
How it works
STEP 01
Drop your file
Your existing payroll export — Excel or CSV, whatever your system already produces. Nothing to reconfigure in your payroll software.
STEP 02
Review the warnings
Missing classification, fringe line with no plan detail, overtime worth a second look. Flagged for you to confirm before anything prints.
STEP 03
Export the PDF
One completed WH‑347 per project, per week, on the official DOL form. Sign it and send it.
Revised form, effective for all federal reporting Oct 1, 2026
What actually changed on the WH‑347
If your process was built around the old form, these are the places it breaks. None of them are hard once your data is mapped — they're just tedious to catch one report at a time.
ConsolidatedThe WH‑348 supplemental page is gone. Everything lives on one page now, which means fields you used to skip are no longer optional.
Fringe detailBenefit name, type, plan name, plan number, hourly credit value, funded vs. unfunded, and payments made in lieu of fringes — all on the main form.
ClassificationNew fields identifying each worker as a Journeyworker or a Registered Apprentice.
LayoutRestructured header rows, a Worker Entry Number column, and revised Statement of Compliance language.
Why this isn't a website you log into
Your payroll data never leaves your computer
Payroll files hold Social Security numbers, addresses, and every wage on your crew. So the tool is a single file that runs on your machine, offline. There's no account, no upload, no server of mine holding your data — because there's no server at all.
That also means no IT review and no vendor security questionnaire. You buy the file once and you keep it.
Don't take my word for it: open your browser's developer tools, watch the network tab, and run a payroll file through it. Nothing goes out. I'll walk you through checking it yourself.
Who this is built for
Two kinds of people call me
Subcontractors
Ten to fifty employees, a few federally funded jobs a year — UDOT work, Hill Air Force Base, anything with federal dollars in the funding stream. Priced out of the big compliance platforms and doing it in Excel instead.
Construction bookkeepers
You run payroll for several contractors and hit the same certified payroll problem on every one of them. One setup per client, one tool, and no per-seat pricing to explain to anybody.
One price, no per-employee fees
