How to file certified payroll in Nevada (Weekly Wage and Hour Report)

No SSN on the Nevada report

Unlike California (which requires the full Social Security Number) or the federal WH-347 (which shows the last four digits), Nevada’s worker-identifier column is the employee name and the state or jurisdiction that issued their identification — not an SSN. PayrollPenguin reflects that: the Nevada report shows the worker name and never prints a Social Security Number.

The Nevada fringe-benefit columns

The Nevada form breaks fringe credit into named columns — Health & Welfare, Pension, Vacation, Apprentice Training, and Other — with each worker row split into straight-time (S) and overtime (O) lines. PayrollPenguin routes the fringe components from your payroll into the matching column by name and totals only the credits you supplied; anything it can’t match falls into Other rather than being dropped or guessed.

Submitted monthly to the awarding public body

Nevada certified payroll is submitted to the awarding public body for the project, not to a central state portal. Under NRS 338.070 the awarding body must receive each contractor’s reports within 15 days after the end of each calendar month. PayrollPenguin produces the file-ready report for each pay period so you have it in hand ahead of that monthly deadline. Note that Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) highway work uses the separate AASHTOWare Project system for payroll — a different submission path PayrollPenguin also supports.

How to file Nevada certified payroll

1. Import your payroll run. Upload your ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, or CSV payroll for the pay period.
2. Pick the Nevada public-work project. Select the project and its awarding public body so the report is identified correctly.
3. Review flagged anomalies. PayrollPenguin flags gaps — missing classification, fringe, or hours — for you to resolve before you certify.
4. Certify and export the report. Sign the report yourself, then download the file-ready Nevada Weekly Wage and Hour Report to submit to the awarding public body.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Nevada report need a Social Security Number?

No. The Nevada Weekly Wage and Hour Report identifies each worker by name and the state or jurisdiction that issued their identification — not by SSN. PayrollPenguin never prints a Social Security Number on the Nevada report.

When and where do I submit the Nevada report?

You submit it to the awarding public body for the project, not to a central portal. Under NRS 338.070 the awarding body must receive your reports within 15 days after the end of each calendar month. PayrollPenguin gives you the file-ready report for each pay period ahead of that.

What about Nevada DOT highway projects?

NDOT highway work uses the separate AASHTOWare Project payroll system rather than the OLC Weekly Wage and Hour Report. PayrollPenguin supports that path as well — pick the format that matches your awarding agency.

Is PayrollPenguin a compliance guarantee?

No. PayrollPenguin is a reporting and formatting tool — it formats your payroll to the Nevada report and flags anomalies. You certify the report and the awarding public body reviews it.
