How to file certified payroll in New Hampshire (federal WH-347)

New Hampshire has no state prevailing-wage law

Unlike states such as New York or California, New Hampshire does not have a state prevailing-wage (mini-Davis-Bacon) statute, so there is no New Hampshire state certified-payroll form and no state portal to upload to. If your work is purely state- or privately funded with no federal money, no prevailing-wage certified payroll is required at all.

Federal funding is the only trigger

Certified payroll is required in New Hampshire only when a project is covered by the federal Davis-Bacon Act — typically work funded in whole or in part by federal dollars above the threshold. In that case you submit Form WH-347 each week to the contracting or funding agency, with the Statement of Compliance signed by your firm.

One payroll run, a file-ready WH-347

PayrollPenguin reads the payroll run you already produce in ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, or a CSV and reshapes it into the WH-347 layout — hours by day, gross, deductions, and fringe — formatted to the official spec. It reformats your numbers; it never invents a wage, and it flags gaps like a missing classification or fringe before you sign.

How to file New Hampshire certified payroll

1. Import your payroll run. Upload your ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, or CSV payroll for the pay period.
2. Confirm the federally funded project. Select the Davis-Bacon project and its wage determination so the WH-347 maps to the right classifications and rates.
3. Resolve flagged anomalies. PayrollPenguin flags missing fringe, classification gaps, or a rate below the wage determination so you can fix them first.
4. Certify and export the WH-347. Sign the Statement of Compliance, then download the file-ready WH-347 to submit to the funding agency.

Frequently asked questions

Does New Hampshire have a state prevailing-wage law?

No. New Hampshire has no state prevailing-wage statute and no state certified-payroll form. Prevailing-wage certified payroll applies only to federally funded work under the Davis-Bacon Act, which is reported on the federal Form WH-347.

Which form do New Hampshire contractors file?

The federal Form WH-347. Because there is no New Hampshire state form or portal, Davis-Bacon work is reported on the WH-347 and submitted to the contracting or funding agency, with the Statement of Compliance signed by your firm.

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 / DOL reviews.
