Certified Payroll Template Excel: Free Multi-Week Register

What's in the free certified payroll template

This is a Certified Payroll Register: a Setup sheet for up to 15 workers, each with name, classification, base rate per hour, and total fringe rate per hour, plus a Payroll Log sheet with 200 rows for entering weekly hours across workers, weeks, and projects.

For each entry, you log week ending date, worker, project, straight-time hours, overtime hours, the base rate and fringe rate for that row, and notes. Gross pay calculates automatically as straight-time hours times rate, plus overtime hours times rate times 1.5. Fringe credit calculates automatically as total hours (straight-time plus overtime) times the fringe rate on that row. There's no signature or Statement of Compliance page in this file — it's a running internal register, not a per-project submission form.

How this differs from our free WH-347 template

This isn't the official WH-347 form layout, and it's a different tool for a different job. Our free WH-347 template reproduces the federal form's exact layout and columns for one project with up to 5 employees, formatted the way a contracting officer expects to see it, but without the Statement of Compliance page.

This certified payroll register instead gives you a multi-week, multi-worker log — 15 workers, 200 payroll log rows spanning weeks and projects — built for tracking hours, gross pay, and fringe credit as an ongoing internal record rather than reproducing the specific WH-347 form layout. If you need the actual government form to submit, use the WH-347 template; if you want a running register of hours and pay across weeks, this is built for that.

Who this template fits

If you're tracking certified payroll data across several weeks or a small handful of workers and want the gross pay and fringe math done automatically as you log hours, this register does that without you rebuilding formulas each week.

If what you actually need is the specific WH-347 form to submit for a single project, start with our free WH-347 template instead — it's laid out to match that form directly. And if you need 20 workers, a Statement of Compliance sheet, and automatic fringe reconciliation split across multiple benefit plans, the paid Construction Pack covers all three in one file.

This register and our other WH-347-style files reproduce the layout for convenience — they are not official DOL filing tools, and none of this is legal advice. You remain responsible for the accuracy of submitted payroll data.
