Certified Payroll Requirements
Effective January 1, 2005 quarterly wage rate approvals are no longer required by the Department.
In lieu of quarterly wage rates, Consultants are required to
submit a Certified Payroll to the Department's Contract Manager
at the time of; (1) agreement, (2) task order, (3) consultant
agreement modification, and/or (4) consultant agreement addendum.
The certified payroll roster is required for the prime and all
cost basis approved subconsultants and will be forwarded to
the Division of Accounting & Auditing as an attachment to
the cost proposal. All titles listed on the Certified Payroll
must be approved by Professional Services. Consultant titles
should be the same on Title Concurrence Sheets, Certified Payroll,
Cost Proposals, and Invoices. See Title
Concurrence for additional information and instructions.
Instructions for completion of Certified Payroll forms:
- All ASCE grades should be listed by each employee then grouped and averaged together by ASCE grade.
- Any dissimilar titles within the same ASCE grade must be grouped together by similar title, and averaged according to similar
title.
- You may add names, titles, and ASCE grades as needed, each ASCE grade need not be listed on separate pages.
- Certified Payroll from prime and subconsultant staff must be listed on separate pages.
- The Consultant Signatory Statement for a prime or a subconsultant must appear on each page of the certified payroll. The Principal
of the Firm for the prime consultant must sign for the prime, and the Principal of the Firm for the subconsultant must sign for the
subconsultant.
These forms are optional; your firm may use its own format as long as all required information is listed. If you choose to use these
forms, rows and pages may be added and deleted as necessary.

Retroactive Wage Rates
- If Auditing determines that wage rates were not approved
for certain individuals listed on an invoice, a retroactive
wage rate approval is required. Retroactive approvals are
also required for individuals missed on a certified payroll
roster.
- The Consultant must submit a retroactive approval letter
to the Department's Contract Manager with a concurrence
line for the Contract Manager's signature. The wage rates
must include the individual's name, title, ASCE Grade, actual
hourly rate, and timeframe in question. The Consultant Signatory
Statement must also appear on the letter.
- The Contract Manager verifies that the individual(s) worked on the project during the timeframe specified, signs and forwards the
letter to Professional Services for approval.
- Professional Services reviews the retroactive request for appropriate titles, rates, and timeframes when the work was performed on
the project.
- Professional Services certifies that the retroactive wage rates are satisfactory and gives final approval for the employees to be
paid as invoiced.
- Copies of the approved retroactive wage rates are distributed to the (1) Consultant, (2) Bureau of Auditing, and (3) Contract
Manager. Professional Services retains the original.
