Your first certified payroll

This is CertifiedHours.

If you're a sub on a public job, you already know the Friday routine.

The prime wants a certified payroll every week.

Hours by day!

The right rate for each classification!

Fringe on every hour!

And a signed statement on page two.

So here's the first one, start to finish.

It takes about fifteen minutes the first time.

And about ninety seconds every week after that.

Sign up with your business name, an email, and a password.

That's it.

No card.

The trial runs fourteen days.

After that?

One payroll a month stays free.

For good.

Three things get set up once.

Your business details, because they print in the header of every form.

Your crew.

And the project.

Business details first.

Address and phone.

You type these here, and you never, ever type them again.

Now, the crew!

Each worker gets a name and an identifying number.

The same number that prints on the form.

That's all we keep about them.

No Social Security numbers, no home addresses, because the form doesn't need them, and neither do we.

If someone's a registered apprentice, tick the box and give the level.

That matters in a minute.

The project.

Name, contract number, location.

Straight off the contract.

And now...

the part that used to mean an hour of typing.

You don't copy rates out of the wage determination anymore.

You upload the PDF.

Give it a few seconds.

It reads every classification and every rate.

Filter down to the ones your crew actually works under, and tick them.

They land in the project spelled exactly the way the determination spells them.

With the numbers copied.

Not retyped.

Which is the whole point.

Create the project.

Start payroll number one, and add a line for each worker.

Type the hours by day.

Eight.

Eight.

Ten.

Nine.

Now...

watch Friday.

Nine hours on Friday, and the overtime split itself!

Five straight.

Four over.

Look at the rate.

Overtime is one and a half times the basic rate.

And only the basic rate.

The fringe stays at its full amount on every hour, straight or overtime.

That one calculation, done the other way, is the single most common reason payrolls get sent back.

Here?

You can't get it wrong.

The apprentice line already knows its rate.

Monday to Friday eights fills the week in one click.

Name and title of the person who signs.

Then preview the form, before you certify anything.

Finalize.

Download it.

Or send it straight to the prime from here, and it logs when it went.

That's the first one.

Next week, your crew, your rates, and your deductions are already there.

You type the hours, and you sign.
