Certified payroll from payroll exports — validated, signed, tracked, and audit-ready.

Every step of certified payroll, handled.
From messy payroll exports to submission-ready reports — WageDocket handles the translation so your office doesn’t have to do it by hand every week.
Import From Any Payroll System
Upload CSV or Excel exports from QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, or your own spreadsheets. WageDocket detects your column layout and maps it — even when headers are on row 3 or classifications use abbreviations.
Target-Specific Output and Readiness
Once your workbook is validated, WageDocket generates the right output or checklist for each filing context: federal WH-347, NY portal readiness, and NJ Wage Hub workflow artifacts with external submission tracking.
Catch Errors Before Submission
Wrong classification, overtime miscalculation, missing fringe benefits, incomplete employee data — WageDocket flags every issue before you generate. Fix problems, don't file them.
Built for Small Shops
WageDocket is designed for 5–50 employee subcontractors — not massive GCs. No implementation team, no six-month onboarding, no enterprise pricing. If you can export a payroll file, you can use WageDocket.
From payroll export to filed report.
Three steps. No data migration, no replacing your payroll system, no six-week onboarding. Start with your first covered week and see where it goes.
Import Your Weekly Payroll Data
Export a file from QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, or your own spreadsheet and upload it to WageDocket. The system detects your column layout, maps classifications and rates, and flags anything it can't auto-resolve for your review.
Review Issues and Fix Compliance Gaps
WageDocket checks every row against the wage determination and project requirements for your job. Wrong classification, missing fringe benefit data, overtime calculation errors — each issue is flagged with a plain-English explanation of what needs to be fixed.
Generate, Sign, and Track Submission
Once your workbook clears validation, generate a certified payroll package for the applicable filing target: federal WH-347, NY portal readiness artifacts, or NJ Wage Hub workflow artifacts. Sign, record external submission, and maintain an audit trail week after week.
Certified payroll is mandatory,
recurring, and brutally manual.
For every covered public-work week, your office has to pull payroll data, split hours by job and classification, check prevailing wages and fringe benefits, fill out federal and state forms, and submit on time — or risk penalties and getting pulled from the bidder registry.
New York’s NYSDOL now requires electronic certified payroll submission on Article 8 projects starting January 2026, with $100/day penalties after a 14-day grace period. This is not optional and it’s not getting simpler.
“We're copying from our payroll system into the WH-347 every single week. It takes two people half a day.”
“We got a deficiency notice because one employee's classification didn't match the wage determination on file. Cost us three weeks of corrections.”
“The new NY portal is a whole other format. We're building a new spreadsheet just to re-enter data from the payroll export.”
Composite scenarios based on common pain points in the NY/NJ subcontractor market.
