What is Form WH-347?

Form WH-347 is the U.S. Department of Labor form that contractors and subcontractors can use to submit weekly certified payrolls on Federal or federally assisted construction contracts covered by the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts. Using Form WH-347 is optional, but covered contractors and subcontractors must submit certified payrolls weekly for weeks in which covered work is performed, and a properly completed WH-347 satisfies that requirement. The form is listed under OMB Control No. 1235-0008, which expires 01/31/2028.

Who receives it

Submit the weekly certified payroll to the Federal agency that is a party to the contract. If no Federal agency is a party to the contract, submit it to the applicant, sponsor, owner or other entity that maintains these records, which passes it on to the Federal agency that provided the assistance. The Department of Labor and the contracting agencies review the information.
