Re: Certified Payroll Reports, Displaying Work Classifications and Split Time

SOLVED

Hi there,

I am looking to find out about specifically Certified Payroll reporting.  We use the standard DOL report, but it does not fill in the Work Classification.  I would like to know if I can add that and how, and where the information pulls from if I can.

I also have a versatile field of employees.  If I have an employee that works plumbing for 4 hours and sheet metal for 4 hours, does the report delineate that when it prints?  If not, I need to know how to do that.  It is easy enough for us to enter it appropriately in the Daily Payroll Entry, but I'm not sure if it separates it out for the Certified Payroll report.

Thanks for your help!

    The work classification field in the 5-1-11 Certified Payroll Report (Federal) pulls from the 5-3-4 Paygroups "Classification" column. If you have set up separate Paygroups for Plumbing and Sheetmetal (typically you'll have a paygroup for each classification that you may use from the contract's Wage Determination) and split the time for that employee to the two Paygroups, the system will handle it properly.

    You may want to consider paying for a Certified Consultant to help with setting up and using Paygroups for Certified Payrolls and Unions. It can be a bit complicated the first time through.

    Thank you, it sounds like a total pain. I will definitely make use of a consultant if we decide to go that route. Thanks for the response!
