DocuOCR reads the certified payroll reports your subcontractors submit and pulls every worker row, hours, classification, rate of pay, deductions, and fringe benefits into a clean Excel, CSV, or JSON file, so prevailing-wage review takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
Built for the WH-347 reports you receive and have to verify, not a form to fill out.

Drop in a certified payroll report to see the worker rows DocuOCR pulls out, ready to export to Excel.
Certified payroll OCR reads the WH-347 and state prevailing-wage reports your subcontractors submit each week and turns them into structured data. DocuOCR extracts every worker row, name and identifying number, work classification, daily and total hours, rate of pay, gross earned, deductions, net wages, and the fringe figures from the Statement of Compliance, then exports them to Excel, CSV, or JSON so a general contractor, owner, lender, or compliance monitor can verify prevailing-wage compliance in minutes. It reads the reports you receive; it does not run payroll or file your WH-347.
Upload, read, review, export. No template to build, no retyping the worker rows, no eyeballing each rate against the wage determination by hand.
Drop in the WH-347 or state report a sub submitted as a PDF, scan, or photo. Process one week or a whole stack of subcontractor payrolls at once.
DocuOCR reads the header, each worker line, name and identifying number, classification, hours by day, rate, gross, deductions, and net, and the Statement of Compliance with the fringe details.
Every field gets a confidence score and your own validation rules, so a missing classification, an off rate, or an unsigned statement is flagged before you approve the payment.
Send the worker rows to Excel, CSV, or JSON, or push them into your compliance tracker, project accounting, or a prevailing-wage review file.

DocuOCR reads both the report header and every worker row, plus the Statement of Compliance, so nothing has to be keyed by hand.
DocuOCR also reads the AIA G702 and G703 pay applications, conditional and unconditional lien waivers, and certificates of insurance that arrive with the pay package. See the full construction document processing software for the whole compliance workflow.
If subcontractor certified payrolls land in your inbox every week and someone has to read and check them, this is for you.
Collect every subcontractor WH-347 each week and check classifications, rates, and fringe against the wage determination before you certify the project payroll.
Verify the certified payrolls your prime submits on a publicly funded job and keep a clean, searchable compliance file.
Confirm prevailing-wage documentation is complete for each draw before releasing funds on a covered project.
Read hundreds of reports across many contracts and surface missing rows, off rates, and unsigned statements without keying each one.
Move the worker rows straight into your compliance tracker or project accounting instead of retyping them.
Add certified-payroll data extraction to your product through one REST API instead of building it from scratch.
Tools like LCPtracker, Points North, and eMars help a subcontractor build and submit its own WH-347 from timesheets. DocuOCR sits on the other side of that exchange: it reads the finished certified payrolls that arrive from your subs so you can review them fast.
Reading them by hand means retyping worker rows and checking each rate against the wage determination. On a job with many subs that is hours a week, and a single missed classification can hold up a payment or a draw.
See the full construction document processing softwareAccuracy runs 95 to 99 percent on clean reports, and every value carries a confidence score with optional validation rules, so uncertain reads are flagged for review rather than trusted blindly. DocuOCR structures the data so you can verify compliance; it does not certify the payroll for you.
A certified payroll is one document type. DocuOCR is the platform that reads the rest of the pay package too.
The category platform: classify a mixed pay package and extract pay apps, lien waivers, and certificates of insurance too.
Extract the G702 and G703 schedule of values from the pay apps that arrive alongside the certified payroll.
Read structured and semi-structured forms with fixed and variable layouts at volume.
Sort a mixed pay package into payrolls, pay apps, waivers, and COIs before extraction.

Certified payroll carries worker names and identifying numbers, so it is handled under enterprise-grade controls, with encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logs, and optional automatic purge after extraction.
The questions people ask most about reading and extracting certified payroll and WH-347 reports.
Certified payroll is a weekly payroll report a contractor or subcontractor submits to prove that everyone on a government-funded construction job was paid at least the required prevailing wage. On federal Davis-Bacon work it is filed on Form WH-347, which lists each worker, their classification, hours, pay rate, gross wages, deductions, and fringe benefits, and is signed with a Statement of Compliance. General contractors, owners, and agencies collect these every week and have to read and verify them before releasing payment.
The WH-347 is the U.S. Department of Labor standardized certified payroll form for federally funded or federally assisted construction. It is generally required on covered contracts over 2,000 dollars and is submitted weekly, within seven days of the end of each payroll period. Each row is one worker, with name and individual identifying number, work classification, hours worked by day, total hours, rate of pay, gross earned, deductions, and net wages, followed by a signed Statement of Compliance covering fringe benefits.
Regular payroll pays your employees and stays internal. Certified payroll is a formal weekly report you send to a government agency or prime contractor that certifies, under penalty of law, that each worker on a covered job was paid the correct prevailing wage and fringe rate for their classification. It carries the extra WH-347 columns for classification, hours by day, fringe benefits, and the signed Statement of Compliance that regular payroll does not require.
Any contractor or subcontractor working on a federal or federally assisted construction contract over 2,000 dollars covered by the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts has to submit weekly certified payroll. Many states have their own prevailing-wage laws that require a similar report on state and local public works. In practice every subcontractor on the job files one each week, and the general contractor collects and reviews them all before certifying the project payroll to the agency.
Most general contractors still open each subcontractor WH-347, read the worker rows by hand, and check the classifications and pay rates against the applicable wage determination before approving payment, which takes hours across a job with many subs. DocuOCR automates the reading step: it extracts every worker line, the hours, rates, deductions, and fringe figures, and the Statement of Compliance from each incoming report and exports them to a spreadsheet so the review team can spot missing rows or off rates in minutes.
Fringe benefits are the amount, on top of the base hourly rate, that Davis-Bacon requires for each classification, covering things like health, pension, vacation, and training. On the WH-347 the contractor certifies in the Statement of Compliance whether those fringe benefits were paid into approved plans and funds or paid to the worker in cash. Extracting the rate of pay and fringe figures accurately matters because underpaid fringe is one of the most common prevailing-wage findings.
Yes. Upload the certified payroll report and DocuOCR reads every worker row and the Statement of Compliance, then exports a clean Excel file with one row per worker and each column, classification, hours, rate, gross, deductions, net, and fringe, kept separate. You can also export CSV for an import or JSON for the API. It reads scanned, faxed, and photographed reports, not only digital PDFs, so a sub who emails a scan still lands as tidy rows.
No. DocuOCR does not run your payroll or file your WH-347. It is built for the other side of the workflow: the general contractor, owner, lender, or compliance monitor that receives certified payroll from its subcontractors and has to read and verify it. It turns each incoming report into structured data you can review and store, and it works alongside whatever payroll or reporting system the subs use to produce their reports.
Upload a WH-347, watch the worker rows come back as clean Excel rows with the rates and fringe kept separate, and scale per page when you go live.
