What Is Certified Payroll?
Certified payroll is a required payroll reporting and certification process on public works projects. Contractors must submit detailed payroll records showing employee classifications, hours worked, wages paid, fringe benefits, deductions, and compliance with overtime and apprenticeship rules. Each report includes a sworn statement certifying the information is accurate and complies with applicable labor laws.
Worry-Free Payroll Compliance
Davis-Bacon Act compliance can be complex and time-consuming, especially for prime contractors responsible for managing subcontractor compliance. eMars' Compliant Client helps prime contractors and subcontractors audit payrolls on public works projects, review payroll data, identify compliance issues, and generate required certified payroll reports in seconds. Built to align with U.S. Department of Labor reporting requirements, the platform validates classifications, wages, fringe benefits, deductions, and overtime, giving contractors confidence that their payrolls are prepared consistently with applicable regulations.

Prevailing Wage Compliance
On publicly funded or government-assisted construction projects, contractors and subcontractors are required to submit certified payroll reports. These reports document who worked on the project, how workers were classified, the hours worked, wages paid, fringe benefits provided, and other required payroll details used to verify compliance with prevailing wage and labor requirements.
For contractors awarded public works projects, understanding certified payroll requirements and how to properly prepare certified payroll reports is essential. Under Davis-Bacon Act and the Related Acts, contractors must follow specific labor standards, and failure to comply may result in back wages, penalties, or other enforcement actions.
