Certified payroll software is a computer program that makes certified payroll reports, statements of compliance, ‘no work performed’ payrolls and general or custom-designed plan benefit reports. Certified payrolls are payrolls generated under Davis-Bacon act. It requires the submission of weekly payroll report beginning with the first week that a company works on a project and for every week there after, till the work completed. These payroll reports are to be signed and must have certificate that the information given in it are true and correct.
The major certified payroll reporting forms used are ‘United States Department of Labor form WH-347 Payroll Certification’ and form ‘WH-348 Statement of Compliance.’ Although most states follow these forms, some states require specialized forms, which are mostly derived from these forms. The companies are required to submit ‘no work performed’ payrolls whenever there is a temporary break in work. Certified payroll software programs automate all these tasks by generating completed payroll reporting forms which are ready to be signed and mailed. Most certified payroll software programs read data directly from QuickBooks company file. So copying or re-entering of data is not required.
The payroll report generated by certified payroll software programs must produce information about the following. Project and contractor/subcontractor information with address, employee information with name, address and social security number of each employee, withholding exemptions, employee work classification, hours worked with date, total hours worked by employee, rate of pay/cash fringes, gross amount earned on this job/all jobs, deductions and net wages paid for week.
Certified payroll software program saves time, improves accuracy and minimizes double data entry and other input complaints due to human errors. When purchasing a certified payroll software it should be noted that it deals with the payroll forms of your state. The cost of certified payroll software is defined by its use in the particular field and the number of employees working and the company providing it. Every contractor and subcontractor is required to keep their own certified payroll reports and other basic records which are inputted to certified payroll software programs for at least 3 years after the project is completed.
