Next steps
From the rate to the payroll
- Price a crew from these rates — total package, cash in lieu of fringe and overtime on the base rate.
- Report them on Form WH-347 — the weekly federal certified payroll, column by column (Rev. January 2025).
- What Kentucky requires for certified payroll — the state report, its cadence and its source, next to the federal rule.
