Does Delaware accept the federal WH-347?

Yes. For state-funded prevailing-wage projects, Delaware accepts the federal WH-347 form — or an equivalent document carrying the same certified-payroll data — submitted weekly to the awarding agency. There is no mandatory separate state electronic-file format or portal upload. PayrollPenguin generates that WH-347 formatted to the official spec.

How often do I have to file in Delaware?

Weekly. Delaware prevailing-wage law (29 Del. C. §6960(e)) requires certified payroll for each pay period, submitted to the awarding agency or as directed in your contract. PayrollPenguin tracks the cadence per project and flags a missing or late week as an anomaly.

Is PayrollPenguin a compliance guarantee?

No. PayrollPenguin is a reporting and formatting tool — it formats your payroll to the WH-347 specification and flags anomalies. You certify and the awarding agency / Delaware Department of Labor reviews.

Delaware prevailing wage certified payroll

How to file certified payroll in Delaware (prevailing wage, WH-347)

Delaware has its own prevailing-wage law (29 Del. C. §6960) covering state-funded public-works projects, and it requires weekly certified payroll. Delaware accepts the federal WH-347 form — or an equivalent document carrying the same data — submitted weekly to the awarding agency rather than through a separate state electronic portal. PayrollPenguin turns your payroll run into a WH-347 formatted to the official spec and flags anomalies before you certify.

Delaware has a state prevailing-wage law

On state-funded construction above the statutory thresholds, Delaware sets prevailing-wage rates and the Office of Construction Enforcement (within the Division of Industrial Affairs) requires weekly certified payroll under 29 Del. C. §6960(e). Failure to submit payroll reports carries a civil penalty, so the weekly cadence is not optional. PayrollPenguin tracks the pay-period cadence per project and flags a late or missing week as an anomaly.

Delaware accepts the WH-347 format

Delaware does not mandate a distinct electronic file or a state portal upload — it accepts the federal WH-347 (or a state fillable PDF carrying the same data), submitted weekly to the awarding agency or as directed in your contract. That means the same WH-347 PayrollPenguin generates for Davis-Bacon work is file-ready for a Delaware state project: a deterministic reformatting of your own payroll numbers, not an invented wage.

Anomalies surfaced before you certify

PayrollPenguin maps each worker’s classification to the prevailing rate and fringe, totals straight-time and overtime, and reshapes your payroll run into the WH-347 cells. It flags the things that get a filing bounced — a rate below the wage determination, missing fringe, a zero-hour week, or a classification gap — for your review. You sign the Statement of Compliance; the awarding agency and the Delaware Department of Labor review.
