Auto-generate and submit certified payroll and prevailing wage reports for JobTread.
Every certified payroll report is a tax on prevailing wage work. Hours pulled from time sheets. Classifications matched to wage determinations. Fringe benefit calculations split between cash and plan contributions. Numbers reconciled against payroll. The WH-347 filled out by hand or rebuilt in a spreadsheet. State forms cross-referenced. Submissions to LCPtracker formatted to spec. The custom spreadsheet your GC sent over with their own column layout. Every job, every week.
The pain compounds at audit time. One miscoded classification, one missing fringe calculation, one cell that didn't update, and the prime contractor or compliance officer is on the phone.
Dapt's JobTread Certified Payroll Intelligent Solution auto-generates and submits all of it. Time and job data flows from JobTread into your payroll system. Payroll runs the way it always has. After payroll runs, Dapt pulls the actual paid amounts back and produces the federal WH-347, state-specific forms, LCPtracker submissions, and the custom spreadsheet templates your GCs require, every report tied line by line to the time entry, classification, and payroll run that produced it.
Powered by Dapt's Intelligent Synchronization Engine (ISE).
Reports come from real payroll data, not estimates
Most certified payroll tools work off pre-payroll calculations, what you intend to pay, not what you actually paid. That gap is where audit findings come from. A correction in payroll, a fringe rate change, a manual adjustment, and the certified payroll report no longer matches the paycheck.
Dapt's JobTread Certified Payroll Intelligent Solution works the other way. After your payroll team runs payroll, Dapt pulls the complete payroll detail back from your provider: gross wages by employee, hours worked, taxes, deductions, employer contributions, and fringe benefits. The certified payroll reports reflect exactly what payroll paid. When the prime contractor or compliance officer asks for backup, every line traces to a payroll run.
Every report format your customers require
JobTread's Certified Payroll Intelligent Solution generates the formats prevailing wage contractors actually have to file:
Federal WH-347
the Department of Labor's standard certified payroll form, including the updated 2025 version with expanded fringe benefit reporting
State certified payroll forms
California (DIR), New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and dozens of others
LCPtracker
the dominant electronic submission system for federal Davis-Bacon work and increasingly used by state and local agencies
eMars and eComply
the next most common compliance platforms when LCPtracker isn't required
Custom GC and prime contractor spreadsheets
the templates GCs and primes send over with their own column layouts. We fill them in for you
The last one matters. No off-the-shelf certified payroll tool we know of handles the custom spreadsheets primes routinely require from their subs. Send us the template during setup; we'll configure Dapt to produce it.
Works with the payroll provider you already use
Dapt's certified payroll solution works with the payroll providers contractors actually use:

Switch payroll providers, and your certified payroll workflow stays the same. Add a new provider, and we add support. The certified payroll layer doesn't dictate which payroll system you run.
Why JobTread + Dapt for certified payroll
Built for contractors on prevailing wage jobs.
Davis-Bacon, state prevailing wage, and project labor agreements all have specific reporting requirements. Dapt handles the WH-347, the state forms, the digital submission formats, and the custom spreadsheets your prime contractors and agencies require.
Reports tied to actual paid amounts.
Pulled from payroll after each run, not from pre-payroll estimates. Every line traces to a time entry, classification, and payroll run.
Accurate fringe benefit calculations.
Prevailing wage rates include fringe benefit components, and the math gets complicated when you provide some benefits as cash and others through plans. Dapt handles the calculations so reports reflect what actually happened.
Audit-ready by default.
Every report is auditable down to the source time entry, classification, and payroll run. When the prime contractor or compliance officer asks for backup, you have it.
No new system for your crews.
JobTread for time and job tracking, your existing payroll provider for payroll. Dapt connects them and produces the certified payroll reports automatically. No retraining, no migration project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Out of the box, no. JobTread tracks time and jobs but doesn't produce certified payroll reports natively. Dapt, a JobTread partner, solves that. The JobTread Certified Payroll Intelligent Solution uses time and job data from JobTread along with payroll data pulled directly from your payroll provider after payroll runs to produce the required reports.
The reports use the actual payroll results. After your payroll team runs payroll, Dapt pulls the complete payroll detail (hours, gross wages, deductions, employer taxes, fringe benefits) from your payroll provider and uses it to populate the certified payroll reports. The numbers on the reports match what payroll paid.

Federal WH-347 (including the updated 2025 version), state-specific certified payroll forms for all states with prevailing wage requirements, LCPtracker submissions, eMars, eComply, and custom spreadsheet templates from prime contractors and GCs.
Yes. We fill in custom spreadsheet templates that GCs and primes send over with their own column layouts. Send us the template during setup and we'll configure Dapt to produce it. This is one of the workflows where Dapt is meaningfully different from off-the-shelf certified payroll tools.
Most contractors are live in two to four weeks. Setup time depends on the complexity of your prevailing wage classifications, the number of states you operate in, and the digital formats and custom templates your prime contractors require.
Pricing depends on payroll volume, the number of jobs, and the reporting requirements you need to support. Request a demo and we'll walk through it.
