Certified payroll software with the clarity of a spreadsheet

Certified payroll software helps contractors on Davis-Bacon and prevailing-wage jobs (federal or state public works) produce the weekly WH-347-style payroll report and Statement of Compliance that document each worker's classification, hours, gross wages, fringe benefits and deductions. LeaveSheet Certified Payroll does exactly this: it builds the report from the hours and rates you enter and reconciles the fringe benefits per plan — but you keep your own payroll provider and submit the report yourself.

No. LeaveSheet produces a WH-347-STYLE layout for convenience — it is not an official DOL filing tool, and nothing here is legal advice. It generates the PDF and Excel documents; you review, sign and submit them through whatever channel your agency requires.

For each classification you enter four fringe rates (Health & welfare, Pension, Vacation/holiday, Training). The app credits fringe on every hour worked — straight time and overtime — and totals it per plan across all workers. It then proves that the sum of those four plan totals equals the sum of column 6B on the report, to the cent. That algebraic check is the differentiator: it is what auditors look for, and most tools leave it to you.

No. There is no electronic filing (eCPR, California DIR, LCPtracker or other state portals) and no e-signature. LeaveSheet gives you the finished WH-347-style PDF and Excel files; you upload or mail them yourself. If your agency mandates a specific electronic portal, you will still use that portal.

LeaveSheet Certified Payroll is a flat $19/month or $190/year (about 17% off) per organization — not per worker — added to your LeaveSheet base plan ($1.50 per active employee per month, minimum $9/month). A small crew therefore pays about $9 + $19 = $28/month total. Everything is covered by the 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

No. LeaveSheet is a reporting and compliance tool, not a payroll processor. It does not cut paychecks, calculate or file taxes, run direct deposits or handle deductions automatically — you enter the deduction amounts, and it produces the certified-payroll documents. Keep your existing payroll provider for the money movement.

Two ways: price and honesty about scope. Compliance platforms run roughly $145 to $1,300+ per month-equivalent (LCPtracker LCPcertified public tiers, checked 2026-07-16), and most competitors — including eBacon and Points North — publish no pricing at all. LeaveSheet is a flat $19/month add-on with pricing on the page. It does not do electronic filing or wage-determination imports, so if you need those, a heavier platform fits better. What it does do — the WH-347-style report and automatic fringe reconciliation — it does with the clarity of a spreadsheet.

Yes. LeaveSheet never touches how you pay people. There are no ADP or QuickBooks integrations — and there don't need to be. You run payroll wherever you run it today, then enter hours, rates and deductions here to produce the certified-payroll paperwork.
