How to generate a certified payroll report for prevailing wage jobs

Certified payroll reporting is often the most painful part of managing prevailing wage work. Knowify can help speed up the process by generating partially-filled reports with the prevailing wage labor information you’ve tracked for each employee. You’ll still need to complete the report with the remaining details from your payroll system, but our aim is to get you most of the way there.

Here’s how to generate your certified payroll report:

1. Go to the Reports tab for your prevailing wage job.
2. Under Labor, Subs & Equipment, select Certified Payroll.
3. Enter the following details to generate the report:
   1. Last day of the week
   2. Payroll #
   3. Signer name
   4. Signer title
4. Click Generate & Download, then open the report.

Knowify will pre-fill your certified payroll report with the following details:

• Hours worked by day
• Total timesheet hours
• Paid hours
• Pay rate (based on the selected job classification)
• Gross job pay
• Fringe rate (based on the eligible fringe for the selected job classification)

If a worker switches roles mid-week (e.g., Laborer → Foreman), Knowify will break that out into separate report rows, automatically.

The remaining fields will need to be filled in using details from your payroll system.
