This is CertifiedHours.
If you're a sub on a public job, you know the Friday routine.
Hours by day.
The right rate for every trade.
Fringe on every hour.
And a signed statement on page two.
So here's the first one, start to finish.
Sign up with your business name, an email, and a password.
That's it.
No card.
One payroll a month is free.
Not a trial.
For good.
Nineteen dollars a month when you need more.
First question.
If you've already filed on this job, upload that form, and we read the crew and the rates right off it.
If this is your first one, it's three short screens instead.
Your business, once.
The address prints at the top of every form, and the signer is the person who signs the statement.
You never type it again.
The job.
Name, contract number, location, straight off the contract.
Now the part that used to mean an hour of typing.
Type the wage determination number, and we fetch the rate sheet from SAM dot gov.
Tick the trades your crew works.
The rates come with them, already copied.
Now, the crew!
One row each.
A name, an ID, and a trade.
No Social Security numbers, no home addresses.
The form doesn't need them.
If you use a four-digit ID, we treat it as the last four of a Social Security number and store it encrypted.
For a registered apprentice, tick the box, give the percentage and the program, and their rate is worked out every week.
Your job is set up.
This is the Hours step, and it's only hours.
One thing first.
The rate sheet is the minimum.
Put in what you actually pay.
Overtime is one and a half times that rate, and the fringe stays the same on every hour.
Now the hours.
Monday to Friday eights, in one click.
Then ten on Wednesday.
Nine on Thursday.
Over forty for the week, and the overtime split itself!
Next week you can pull last week's hours, paste a spreadsheet, or send a photo of a timesheet.
Check and sign.
Type the deductions once.
We check the rates against the sheet, the overtime, the apprentice, and the numbering, and say so in plain words.
And the preview shows the form exactly as it will be filed, before you certify anything.
File it.
That's the WH-347, with the Statement of Compliance on page two.
Download the PDF, send it straight to the prime, or take the LCPtracker file for their portal.
And it tells you the next payroll number, and when it's due.
Next week, Home tells you what's due.
Your crew, your rates, and your deductions are already there.
You type the hours, and you sign.
And Help is one click away on every screen, with answers for that screen, and a way to ask us.
That's the first one.
Free for one payroll a month, at certified hours dot com.
Try it with your own crew.
Everything in the video runs on the free plan: one finalized payroll a month, no card to start.
