How to fill out Form WH-347

Have the applicable wage determination and revision, the week’s hours by worker and classification, and your payroll figures for the week in hand. For plan fringe, also have each plan’s name, type, number, funded status and hourly credit. For apprentices, have the program and progression information.

If a worker performed more than one classification, separate those hours before filling the rows. If classification hours were not tracked, all hours must be paid at the highest applicable rate. If a needed classification is absent from the determination, contact the contracting officer or agency representative rather than inventing a title and rate.

Mark whether this is the final week of work and whether you are the prime contractor or a subcontractor. Enter the project name, project or contract number if available, certified payroll number, business legal name and address, project location, determination number and revision, and week ending.

Start worker numbering at 1 in first-appearance order. A worker on more than one classification row keeps the same number on each row. Continue numbering on later sheets.

Enter the last name, first name and middle initial in their respective fields. Keep the worker identifiable across their classification rows and the fringe table.

Enter the last four digits of the Social Security number or another individual identifier. A full SSN must not be entered.

Use J for a journeyworker. Use RA for a registered apprentice and include the apprentice’s level of progression.

Enter the determination classification for the work actually performed. Put hours in each classification on separate rows.

Show the first letter and date of each workday and enter straight-time and overtime hours in their separate rows. On contracts covered by CWHSSA, hours over 40 in the week are overtime, including off-site hours.

Total the hours for the week on the row. Straight time and overtime both belong in that total.

Put the straight-time hourly rate on top and the overtime rate below. Do not include cash paid in lieu of fringe in this column.

Enter total hours multiplied by the hourly plan credit shown on page 2. This is a weekly dollar amount, not the hourly credit itself.

Enter total hours multiplied by the hourly cash-in-lieu amount. Report cash here even when part of the fringe is also paid to plans.

Enter gross earned for hours on this project, including cash in lieu of fringe. Plan contributions are shown as fringe credit rather than cash wages in project gross.

Enter gross earned for all work during the week, including work not covered by Davis-Bacon.

Show tax withholdings, FICA, other deductions and their total for all work. Do not prorate deductions across projects. Describe one other deduction in remarks; several require an itemized attachment.

Enter the net payment actually made for all work during the week. It should reconcile with all-work gross and deductions.

Check certifications 1, 2, 3 and 6 every time: accuracy, required wage rates, fringe obligations and payroll records. Check box 4 for apprentices and list each program, OA or SAA registration and classification. Without apprentices, leave box 4 unchecked and enter N/A.

Check box 5 when claiming fringe credit. List each worker’s entry number and name, plan details and hourly credits. For cash-only fringe, check the box and leave the table blank; the payment appears in 6C. Use remarks for additional explanations. The certifying official reviews and signs: original handwritten or legally valid electronic signatures are accepted, not scanned, faxed or photocopied signatures.

1. Rate under the determination. Compare the full basic-plus-fringe package for each classification.
2. Overtime below 1.5 times basic. Apply the extra half-time premium to the basic rate.
3. Fringe in the wrong place. Separate plan credit in 6B from cash in 6C.
4. Apprentice ratio over the limit. Follow the approved program’s ratio; workers beyond it need the full applicable rate.
5. Skipped payroll number. Continue the project sequence.
6. Net pay that does not add up. Reconcile 7B minus deductions to the actual net payment.
7. No-work week not declared. Check whether your contract asks for a no-work report.
8. Project gross mixed with all jobs. Keep 7A separate from 7B and use all-work deductions.
