WH-347 Continuation Sheets: Certified Payroll for More Than 8 Workers

The WH-347 has exactly eight worker rows, and prevailing-wage crews are frequently bigger than that. What the form does not have is a companion "continuation sheet" form, and searching for one leads nowhere because it does not exist. Here is how multi-sheet certified payrolls actually work.

One payroll, several sheets

A certified payroll covers one contractor, one project, one work week. When the crew exceeds eight workers, the payroll simply spans more than one physical copy of the WH-347. Everything that identifies the payroll stays identical on every sheet:

• The full header: project name, location, contract number, your business name and address, the wage determination number, and the week ending date.
• The payroll number. All sheets for the week share it. Payroll no. 4 with twelve workers is payroll no. 4 on both sheets, not no. 4 and no. 5.
• The day and date grid, since the work week is the same.

What continues, rather than repeats, is the worker entry number in column 1A: workers one through eight on the first sheet, nine onward on the next. That running number is how a reviewer confirms nobody fell through the gap between sheets.

Label the set in Remarks

The form has no "page X of Y" field, so use the Additional Remarks area on page 2 to say what a reviewer would otherwise have to guess: which sheet this is, how many there are, and which workers it carries. A line like "Sheet 2 of 2 for this payroll; workers 9-12 of 12" removes the most common question a multi-sheet payroll gets asked.

The Statement of Compliance question

The signed Statement of Compliance is what turns a payroll report into a certified payroll, and every listed worker must be covered by one. With multiple sheets, agencies differ: many accept one signed statement covering the set, while others want every sheet submitted as a complete, signed form. Since a fully completed sheet satisfies both camps and a bare one satisfies only the first, the safe default is to complete and sign the statement on every sheet. Whatever your agency requires, the certifications you are signing apply to all workers on all sheets; splitting a crew across pages changes nothing about what you are attesting to.

Mistakes that get multi-sheet payrolls kicked back

• Restarting entry numbers at 1 on each sheet. The count runs continuously; two workers both numbered "1" for the same week reads as a duplicate or an omission.
• Incrementing the payroll number per sheet. That corrupts your sequential weekly numbering for the rest of the project.
• Header drift between sheets. A different week ending date or determination number on sheet two turns one payroll into two conflicting ones.
• Fringe grid mismatches. Workers nine and up need their fringe plan credits shown just like workers one through eight; a second sheet with an empty fringe grid contradicts page 1's 6B amounts.

The generator does this automatically

The free WH-347 generator handles crews up to 24 workers. Add your workers (or import them from a CSV); when the crew passes eight, it produces additional complete sheet pairs on the official form: identical headers, continuing entry numbers, per-sheet fringe grids, a filled Statement of Compliance on every sheet, and an automatic remark labeling each sheet's place in the set. The math is computed once across the whole crew, so totals reconcile no matter how many sheets the week takes.
