Vendor Certified Payroll

Certified payroll in construction is a mandatory weekly report for federal or state-funded projects, proving workers get at least the prevailing wages and benefits, using forms like WH-347, detailing hours, pay, deductions and fringes. Certified payroll is vital for compliance, avoiding penalties and ensuring fair pay under acts like Davis-Bacon.

In ClearToPay™, you can track records and notifications at the job and vendor level to ensure documentation is provided and received in a timely manner. These records can be created manually or automatically at the vendor level.

Note

ClearToPay does not provide the forms vendors need to generate their certified payroll documentation. When the certified payroll documentation is received prior to its due date, it must be marked as Received in ClearToPay for the vendor to be considered in compliance.

  1. From My Paperless, click ClearToPay™.

  2. In the ClearToPay™ navigation bar, click Jobs.

  3. From the Jobs page, select a job from the list to access its vendors.
