FAQS

Certified Payroll is a detailed weekly report (Form WH-347) required on most government funded construction projects. It verifies that all workers are paid according to the prevailing wage laws. These reports ensure transparency and protect both contractors and workers under the Davis-Bacon Act or state equivalents.

Any contractor or subcontractor working on a public works or federally funded project

that falls under prevailing wage laws must submit Certified Payroll Reports — typically

weekly — to the project owner or oversight agency

Incorrect or late submissions can lead to payment delays, penalties, or even contract

suspension. BuildShieldCompliance helps you avoid these risks by ensuring your reports

are accurate, timely, and audit-ready.
