How to Fill Out Form WH-347

Form WH-347 at a glance

What it is: The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Weekly Certified Payroll Form, for the contractor's optional use, from the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.

Who signs: Sign as the Certifying Official.

While use of Form WH-347 itself is optional, covered contractors and subcontractors performing work on Federal or federally assisted construction contracts are required by the DBRA regulations and the contract clauses to submit payroll information on a weekly basis.

DOL and contracting agencies receiving this information review the information to determine whether workers have received legally required wages and fringe benefits.

A filled-in Form WH-347 example: a prime contractor certifies a week for two workers

Form WH-347 example filled out, example: a prime contractor certifies a week for two workers
Sample Electric, a prime contractor, fills out Form WH-347 for one week. Two workers worked on the project in the week ending October 11, 2026, a journeyworker and an apprentice. The pictures show both pages, and every value in them is made up. This is payroll number 1 and not the final payroll, so that box stays empty. The workweek runs Monday to Sunday, October 5 to October 11, 2026. The journeyworker works eight hours of straight time Monday to Friday and two hours of overtime on Saturday, 42 hours in all, at 40.00 straight time and 60.00 overtime. The apprentice works eight hours of straight time Monday to Friday at 24.00 and no overtime, 40 hours in all, so the overtime rate stays empty. Neither worked on any other project that week, so the gross amount for all work equals the gross amount earned. Tax withholdings and FICA are the only deductions, so Other stays empty, and net pay is the gross amount for all work minus the total deductions. Both workers are covered by one funded fringe benefit plan, with an hourly credit of 5.00 for the journeyworker and 3.00 for the apprentice, so the credits are 210.00 and 120.00, and nothing is paid in lieu, so that box stays empty. The apprentice is registered with the Office of Apprenticeship, so OA is marked and SAA is not. Only two workers are listed, so the other rows stay empty. The certifying official ticks all six statements and signs on October 12, 2026, and nothing needs a remark, so Additional Remarks stays empty.

If your situation is different

Submit weekly certified payrolls to the appropriate Federal agency

The Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145) requires contractors and subcontractors performing work on Federal or federally financed construction contracts to, on a weekly basis, “furnish a statement on the wages paid each employee during the prior week.”

U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Regulations at 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii) require contractors and subcontractors to submit weekly certified payrolls to the appropriate Federal agency if the agency is a party to the contract (or, if the agency is not such a party, to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to the Federal agency).
