What is a WH-347 form?

Form WH-347 is the U.S. Department of Labor's standard certified payroll report form for Davis-Bacon and Related Acts compliance. Contractors must submit it weekly to document that all workers on a federally funded construction project were paid at least the prevailing wage rates for their trade classification.

Who must submit certified payroll?

Every contractor and subcontractor performing work on a federally funded construction contract subject to Davis-Bacon must submit a weekly certified payroll report. This includes all tiers of subcontractors, not just the prime contractor.

What is the Statement of Compliance on WH-347?

Part II of the WH-347 is the Statement of Compliance — a signed declaration that the information is accurate and complete, and that all workers were paid the prevailing wage rates. Signing a false Statement of Compliance is a federal crime.

How long do I have to keep certified payroll records?

Davis-Bacon regulations require contractors to retain payroll records for at least 3 years after the completion of the project. DOL investigators can request records for any project within that window.
